How Budget 2013 will make Singapore an international financial and maritime centre
Singapore’s Budget 2013 was announced on 25 February 2013. The key message for businesses is the emphasis on ‘quality growth’. Underpinning this key message is that Singapore will continue its course of encouraging and attracting foreign investments. This is important, as Singapore’s key business sectors are dominated by MNCs and global companies which are highly mobile and operate internationally, and are increasingly developing local talent. This is essential to the continuation of Singapore’s successful strategy as a competitive hub bridging Asia with America, Europe and the West.
