Abstract

In this chapter, the author will use Singapore’s experience to explain how the theories in Chapter 1 could help in pre-empting a property bubble in the seeding stage and containing a property bubble in the development stage. Thereafter, he will discuss the nine rounds of curbing measures in Singapore and draw lessons from the effectiveness of these nine rounds of curbing. In particular, he will explain (i) why Singapore missed the best time to pre-empt the property bubble at the seeding stage; and (ii) how Singapore’s subsequent persistent and determined effort in curbing its property bubble had eventually stopped the bubble from growing and then helped squeezing part of the bubble. The author hopes such an analysis of the earlier mistake and the subsequent success in Singapore could provide valuable lessons for pre-empting or containing property bubbles in the future.
