Singapore Budget 2026: Direction, Priorities, and Impact for Businesses

Singapore’s Budget 2026, delivered in February, builds on well-established national priorities as the country continues to navigate a slower global growth environment and intensifying regional competition. The Government’s focus remains consistent with recent years, centered on strengthening productivity, supporting enterprise transformation, developing a future-ready workforce, advancing sustainability goals, and maintaining Singapore’s overall competitiveness as a business and innovation hub.

For businesses operating in Singapore, Budget 2026 is expected to reinforce ongoing initiatives rather than introduce abrupt policy shifts. Continued emphasis on enterprise support, innovation and digitalization, workforce upskilling, and the green transition reflects Singapore’s longer-term economic strategy. Cost management, labor availability, and operational efficiency remain central considerations for both local and international companies.

David Stepat, Country Director of Dezan Shira & Associates Singapore, will analyze the key themes and measures announced in Singapore’s Budget 2026 and their practical implications for companies operating in and through Singapore. This webinar will focus on how businesses can interpret policy direction, assess opportunities, and align planning decisions with Singapore’s evolving economic framework.

We will cover the following:

• Singapore’s economic outlook and Budget 2026 overview
• Business-related tax measures and incentives
• Enterprise support, productivity, and innovation initiatives
• Workforce, skills development, and manpower-related updates
• Singapore’s competitive positioning and regional relevance
• Key takeaways and practical considerations
• Q&A
