Upcoming Personal Finance Webinars and Events In Singapore You Should Attend In 2022

The problems that blighted the world at the start of 2022 remains ever present till now. The growing political tensions between the US and China are setting a worrying tone for global affairs. Additionally, the Russia-Ukraine war which is still continuing, has exacerbated supply chain disruptions, increasing inflationary pressures. Interest rates are rising to curb hot inflation, which is having a damper on the markets.

While these macro events have made investing in 2022 more challenging, we should look at the silver linings in the dark clouds as shared by PM Lee in his National Day Rally 2022 speech. As often quoted, a crisis is an opportunity for the well prepared.

With this in mind, we have curated a list of upcoming personal finance events for the months of November and December 2022 to help investors make sense of these global events.
