It's much more better than US. US government debt is a black hole, the only solution is a make the debt greater.

Meanwhile, MAS’ investment gains stood at S$600 million. The central bank incurred a total expenditure of S$13.7 billion in FY2022/23, largely due to interest expenses on MAS bills and other borrowings for domestic money market operations.As Singapore dollar interest rates rose together with the increase in global interest rates, MAS incurred higher interest expense in its conduct of money market operations.This is the second year MAS has recorded a net loss, following a net loss of S$7.4 billion recorded in FY2021/22.This year, it similarly did not make a contribution to Singapore’s Consolidated Fund, nor return profits to the government.MAS also raised its issued and paid-up capital by S$25 billion to S$50 billion, as a conservative measure to ensure it remained well-capitalised relative to its assets.As at Mar 31, MAS’ total capital and reserves was $34.3 billion.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":194551440855248,"gmtCreate":1688535838095,"gmtModify":1688535841611,"author":{"id":"3581820976934736","authorId":"3581820976934736","name":"MilkTeaBro","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4f96ac4963a3566e7f4d22e78cc23ef9","vip":2,"crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"It's much more better than US.
