Mr Song Seng Wun is Singapore Economic Advisor of CGS International Securities Singapore. He started his working career in 1985 as an economist in Malayan Banking Bhd in Malaysia. He moved to Singapore in 1990 and worked as a Regional Economist with various major multi-national financial institutions such as Merrill Lynch, Warburg Dillon Read, as well as ABN Amro. Mr Song joined GK Goh Securities, one of Singapore’s leading stock trading firms in 1998. GK Goh Securities was sold to CIMB Bank, a leading Malaysian Bank in 2004. He stayed on as the regional economist in the re-named CIMB-GK Goh Securities.

Mr Song joined CIMB Bank in 2015 and retired in 2023. With over three decades of working experience covering three regional and global recessions, Mr Song’s areas of focus are on the economies of the ASEAN-5. He is a familiar icon in Southeast Asia's news media with his professional views on the regional financial markets, from BBC, CCTV, CNBC, CNN, NHK, Nikkei, TRT World, Phoenix TV, the Voice of America, and even on food channels! Apart from Excel spreadsheets, statistical models, and historical data series, Mr Song has another unique tool of tracking the pulse of the local economy: bellynomics. To get an on-the-ground (or inthe-tummy) view of how the economy is faring, Mr Song traipses around Singapore almost daily, eating at different establishments. But each quest is for more than just nutritional sustenance; he uses his excursions to compare costs, track rentals, and even the hourly wages of workers. "To me, that's getting the pulse of the economy through my mouth. It's a practical thing, really - that's my excuse anyway," Mr Song tells The Business Times, Singapore's leading business newspaper. He holds a Master of Arts in Econometrics from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
