The author argued that lobbying was not inherently corrupt and could bring diverse perspectives into policymaking, but said it could become a legalised form of corruption when money bought access and private interests shaped public policy behind closed doors.
The author thanked President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and the G30 for what they described as a thoughtful discussion of the challenges facing policymakers. They said artificial intelligence, rising public debt and high energy costs were shaping the global economy, and argued that decisive policy action could not be delayed. https://t.co/RejtYxKgQT #Policymaking #GlobalEconomy #AI #SG
