As your partners in accounting and finance, we understand that staying ahead of national policy is key to your success. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s National Day Rally 2025 address laid out a clear direction for Singapore’s economic future, and we’ve analysed the speech to bring you the highlights that matter most to the business community.
Understanding these developments is the first step in leveraging them for your strategic advantage. Here’s our breakdown of the key initiatives and what they could mean for your business operations and planning.
In response to global trade uncertainties, the government is developing a new economic blueprint. This strategy, led by the Singapore Economic Resilience Taskforce, aims to fortify our nation’s competitive advantage. For your business, this signals a stable and forward-thinking environment. It’s an opportune time to review your own strategic plans to ensure they align with this national focus on long-term resilience and adaptability.
The rally reinforced that “jobs, jobs, and jobs” remain the government’s top economic priority. This commitment directly translates into valuable support for businesses.
