Temasek is a transliteration of Temasek in Malay.Temasek was established in 1974 as a private holding company under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance of Singapore.So why did the Singapore government set up such a company in the early 1970s?What is the background of its establishment?What is its mission?What does it have to do with the Singapore government?To answer these questions, we need to briefly review the history of Singapore's economic development.The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
Singapore gained autonomy from the United Kingdom in 1959, especially after its separation from Malaysia in 1965, when it established the Republic of Singapore. National sovereignty and economic development are entirely in its own hands.The primary task facing the newly born Singapore government is to create employment opportunities and reduce employment pressure.For this reason, Singapore has adopted the economic policy of taking the government as the leader and vigorously developing labor-intensive manufacturing industry.At that time, some basic industries in Singapore, such as transportation and shipbuilding, were state-owned enterprises set up by the government.In Singapore, such enterprises are called enterprises associated with the state, or "Guolian enterprises" for short.The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
After nearly 10 years of recovery and development, by the early 1970s, Singapore had gained employment for all, and the government adjusted its economic development policy, that is, from labor-intensive to capital intensive and high-tech industries.Due to the oil crisis in the early 1970s, Singapore decided to develop its crude oil processing industry by taking advantage of its special strategic position.The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
So in 1977, Singapore Petroleum Corporation (SPC) was funded by the government, and soon Singapore Chemical Group (PCS) was established.At the same time, the government has also invested in the construction of a number of high-tech electronic and computer industries.By the mid-1970s, there were more and more enterprises (namely, Guolian enterprises) set up by various government departments in Singapore. How to strengthen the management and supervision of these enterprises so that they can continue to grow in the fierce market competition, instead of lying on the government and relying on the protection and help of the government,This was a very urgent and arduous task for the Singapore government at that time.The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
Before the mid-1970s, in order to further promote the development and management of national infrastructure, the Singapore government established some so-called "statutory bodies", which integrate government functions and enterprise operations, such aspowerBureau, Post and Telecommunications Administration Bureau, Petroleum Administration Bureau, etc. (similar to China's Ministry of Power, Railway, Post and Telecommunications).Implement the unification of government and enterprises, formulate regulations and policies, and conduct industry management and operation.The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
With the increase in the scale of industrial development and the number of enterprises, the government feels that it is more and more difficult to manage the numerous Guolian enterprises.To this end, the government gradually separated the functions of formulating industrial policies and regulations from the operation of enterprises, and merged the management agencies of relevant industries.In order not to affect the development of enterprises, ensure that the original state-owned assets are not lost, and can increase in value, in 1974, the Singapore government decided that the Ministry of Finance (Investment Department) was responsible for establishing a national asset management and management company specializing in the operation and management of the capital invested by the original country in various types of League of Nations enterprises.The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
This company is Temasek, which is a holding company registered in a private name in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Singapore Company Law.According to the commission of the government at that time, Singapore developedbankTemasek was authorized to operate the shares of 36 Guolian enterprises (totaling S $345 million, about US $70 million).The purpose entrusted to it by the government is to "cultivate world-class companies through effective supervision and commercial strategic investment, so as to contribute to the economic development of Singapore."The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
Temasek Holdings is the most well-known of several companies wholly-owned by the Singapore government, but it has always remained mysterious.As an exempted private enterprise, Temasek Holdings does not have to disclose its annual financial statements like a listed company, so rumors about the company have been going on all the time.The company controls Singapore Telecom, Singapore Airlines, Jetstar Asia Airlines, DBS Bank, Singapore Metro, Singapore International Port Group, Singapore Power, Keppel Group and RaffleshotelAlmost all of Singapore's most important enterprises with the largest turnover have been estimated by foreign media that the market price of shares held by Temasek Holdings accounts for 47% of the entire Singapore stock market, which can be said to almost dominate the economic lifeline of Singapore.Because of this, Singapore's economic model is called "state capitalism", that is, to invest through private enterprises controlled by the state and dominate the capital market dominated by private enterprises.The article originates from the home of American stocks | encyclopedia of American stocks | account opening and investment of American and Hong Kong stocks-https://www.mg21.com/temasek.html
