The Government takes an overall and long-term view when it comes to investments such as those made by state-owned investment vehicle Temasek Holdings, said Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam last night.

'What matters to the Government is the overall performance,' he said, adding that an investment should be assessed 'over the long term'.

'We track, engage and evaluate the performance. But we don't just look at six months or one year,' he said.
