8 叶汉荣议员问副总理兼贸易与工业部长，鉴于有报道指出外国公司正在离开樟宜商务园区，(a) 是否观察到跨国公司将其后台运营迁往成本更低国家的趋势；(b) 导致新加坡商业吸引力下降的因素有哪些，以及正在实施哪些策略以应对这一趋势；(c) 除了财政补助外，还采取了哪些积极措施以确保企业继续将新加坡视为有利于增长和创新的环境。
颜金勇部长：新加坡经济依然具有竞争力。今年，我们在国际管理发展学院的世界竞争力排名中位列第一。经济发展局和新加坡统计局最近对制造业和服务业公司的调查也显示，企业对商业环境依然持积极展望。
我们仍然是新投资的有吸引力地点。例如，云服务提供商亚马逊网络服务（Amazon Web Services）将在未来四年内在新加坡投资120亿新元，用于云计算和人工智能项目。此外，制药公司阿斯利康正在建设一个价值20亿新元的抗体药物偶联物制造设施。先锋集团和恩智浦半导体计划在新加坡投资78亿新元建设新的晶圆制造厂。这些新投资将为新加坡人创造大量就业机会并推动经济增长。
随着我们继续推动经济向更具创新性和生产力的方向转型，预计更多公司将在新加坡更新和刷新其业务活动。这可能包括将部分现有业务迁往其他地点，同时开展新的经济活动。此外，随着市场演变，尤其是科技行业的公司必须通过转型其商业模式来适应。这通常要求它们提升生产力并调整员工规模。混合办公模式的兴起也导致一些公司减少办公空间。这些趋势影响了樟宜商务园区的租赁率。
贸易与工业部将确保新加坡的生态系统继续对企业具有吸引力。例如，财政部长黄循财在2024年预算案中宣布，我们将推出新的可退还投资抵免，支持在新加坡开展高价值和实质性经济活动的企业。除了财政激励措施外，我们还将继续投资研发，培养人才，并支持企业抓住外部市场和新增长领域的机遇。

8 Mr Yip Hon Weng asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry given reports that foreign companies are leaving Changi Business Park (a) whether there is an observable trend of MNCs moving their back-end operations to more cost-effective countries; (b) what are the factors leading to a perceived decline in Singapore’s business appeal and what are the strategies being implemented to counteract this trend; and (c) beyond financial grants, what other proactive measures are being adopted to ensure that businesses continue to view Singapore as a conducive environment for growth and innovation.
Mr Gan Kim Yong : Singapore's economy remains competitive. This year, we ranked first in the International Institute for Management Development's World Competitiveness Ranking. The Economic Development Board's and the Singapore Department of Statistics' latest surveys of companies in the manufacturing and services sector, respectively, also indicate that firms continue to hold a positive outlook of business conditions.
We also continue to be an attractive location for new investments. For example, the cloud service provider Amazon Web Services is investing $12 billion in Singapore, over the next four years, for cloud and AI projects. In addition, pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is building a $2 billion manufacturing facility for antibody drug conjugates. Vanguard and NXP Semiconductors plan to invest $7.8 billion in a new wafer manufacturing facility in Singapore. These new investments will create significant job opportunities for Singaporeans and generate economic growth.
As we continue transforming our economy to be more innovative and productive, we expect that more companies will renew and refresh their activities here in Singapore. This may include relocating some of their existing operations to other locations while pursuing new economic activities. Furthermore, as markets evolve, companies, especially those in the technology sector, must adapt by transforming their business models. This often requires them to drive greater productivity and right-size their workforce. The rise of hybrid work arrangements has also led some companies to reduce their office footprint. These trends have affected tenancy rates at Changi Business Park.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry will ensure that Singapore's ecosystem continues to be attractive to businesses. For example, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced in Budget 2024 that we will introduce a new Refundable Investment Credit for firms anchoring high-value and substantive economic activities in Singapore. Beyond financial incentives, we continue to invest in research and development, nurture talent and support our enterprises to seize opportunities in external markets and new growth areas.
