Headline Industrialisation Programme in Singapore

Caption Description The Government of Singapore, through its Economic Development Board and with the assistance of the United Nations and several of the related agencies under the UN Development Programme (UNDP), has embarked on an intensive and rapid industrialization programme. The decision to provide an industrial base to the nation’s traditional economy was the result of studies and recommendations by a UN team of experts in 1961 which revealed that the entrepôt trade, the main source of income for Singapore, could not be relied on to support the fast-expanding, young population. The Board’s Industrial Research Unit (IRU), set up with the help of the Colombo Plan, handles those problems of industry which relate to production techniques, testing of raw materials and finished goods, instrument repair and calibration and research on the improvement of existing products.
