The 60% ABSD: Has Singapore Shut the Door on Foreign Money?

The Topic: The Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) for foreigners is now a staggering 60%. This is one of the highest "foreign buyer taxes" in the world.

Why it's Interesting: It's a debate about balance. Is Singapore protecting its market for locals, or is it risking its "safe-haven" status that attracts ultra-high-net-worth individuals and family offices?

Key Research Questions: What has the real impact been on foreign purchases in the Core Central Region (CCR)? Are foreigners finding loopholes (e.g., buying commercial, shifting to "entities")? Is this 60% rate permanent, or is it a temporary lever?
