Singapore contributes US$87m to IDA

This is a 24% increase from the country’s previous contributions.

Singapore has pledged US$87m to replenish the coffers of the International Development Association (IDA) for the next three years starting July 2025.

Indranee Rajah, Second Minister for Finance, said this is an increase of 24% from their previous contribution and an increase of 10% in their burden share.

IDA is a part of the World Bank that focuses on assisting low-income countries by providing grants and low-interest loans to help them invest in their futures and improve living conditions.

In December, IDA donors agreed to expand the 21st replenishment of IDA (IDA21) to a historical high of US$100b.

IDA21 will be used to address challenges in areas like health and the environment, with 45% of commitments channelled towards mitigation and adaptation efforts.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
