Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 1: Andre Low on tackling wealth inequality with baby bonds
Singapore should look into starting a baby bond, opened automatically at birth, invested in a diversified and low-cost portfolio over 18 years. This would give every Singaporean child a stake in the nation. NCMP Andre Low, who proposed this in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26), said a meaningful endowment invested early becomes real capital by adulthood. He asked if the government could commission a feasibility study on the baby bond scheme to help tackle wealth inequality.
