Budget 2026: SBF and PwC Singapore Call for Practical Measures to Accelerate AI Diffusion, Support Business Decarbonisation and Deepen Capabilities as a Trusted Hub Amidst Global Uncertainties
The Singapore Business Federation (SBF) and PwC Singapore today submitted a set of Budget 2026 Recommendations to build a future-ready Singapore - one that is globally competitive, sustainable and inclusive. Titled "Building a future-ready Singapore: Transformation, Technology, Trust", the joint recommendations are a call to move first, not react later, by driving enterprise and workforce transformation, enabled by technology and underpinned by trust. As the global environment and business models evolve, AI and innovation will increasingly determine whether Singapore leaps onto its next growth S-curve or settles into slower growth. At the same time, maintaining trust - in policies, institutions and social cohesion - is essential to sustaining Singapore's position as a competitive global and regional hub.
