You see in 2003, it was so crystal clear that 80k min sum in CFP SA is a joke for retirement ... it has to be inflated so that Singaporeans save more into CPF SA to prepare for retirement

In 2003, CPF min sum was 80k, after 10y, 148k

About 6.2% pa compound

yet at the same time, M3 has expanded much faster

2003
May 191,406.9

2013
May P 506,651.4

about 9.8%pa

Did Poor people's aid by govt increase by 6.2% compounded?

If not, something must be wrong.

you got my point :D

but don't be surprised that CPF SA min sum will play catch up in next 10y and reach 300k soon :rolleyes:

our PM has said when baby boomers age, PAP will draw more from reserve to help them ... let's see ;)

and CPF is very proud that with a min sum of 139k (last year), their annuity payout outperforms NTUC Income by 100% which is around 1.2k pm where payout starts at 65

in view of overwhelming money supply, better quickly go take maximum loan to exchange for something that cannot multiply in supply so quickly... :D

brazil
SAO PAULO, June 21 (Reuters) - A rise in public transport fares, which sparked massive protests across Brazil, also helped push inflation above the ceiling of the government's target. Brazil's benchmark IPCA-15 inflation index rose 6.67 percent in the 12 months through mid-June, up from 6.46 percent one month earlier, statistics agency IBGE said Friday. The government targets inflation at 4.5 percent with a tolerance margin of 2 percentage points in either direction. On a monthly basis, inflation rose 0.38 percent, in line with the median of analysts' forecasts.

Food for thoughts:

Did people's economic output also increase by 6.2% compounded?
Did people's hardwork and effort also increase by 6.2% compounded?
:doh:
