8 葉漢榮議員問副總理兼貿易與工業部長，鑑於有報道指出外國公司正在離開樟宜商務園區，(a) 是否觀察到跨國公司將其後臺運營遷往成本更低國家的趨勢；(b) 導致新加坡商業吸引力下降的因素有哪些，以及正在實施哪些策略以應對這一趨勢；(c) 除了財政補助外，還採取了哪些積極措施以確保企業繼續將新加坡視為有利於增長和創新的環境。
顏金勇部長：新加坡經濟依然具有競爭力。今年，我們在國際管理發展學院的世界競爭力排名中位列第一。經濟發展局和新加坡統計局最近對製造業和服務業公司的調查也顯示，企業對商業環境依然持積極展望。
我們仍然是新投資的有吸引力地點。例如，雲服務提供商亞馬遜網路服務（Amazon Web Services）將在未來四年內在新加坡投資120億新元，用於雲端計算和人工智慧專案。此外，製藥公司阿斯利康正在建設一個價值20億新元的抗體藥物偶聯物製造設施。先鋒集團和恩智浦半導體計劃在新加坡投資78億新元建設新的晶圓製造廠。這些新投資將為新加坡人創造大量就業機會並推動經濟增長。
隨著我們繼續推動經濟向更具創新性和生產力的方向轉型，預計更多公司將在新加坡更新和重新整理其業務活動。這可能包括將部分現有業務遷往其他地點，同時開展新的經濟活動。此外，隨著市場演變，尤其是科技行業的公司必須通過轉型其商業模式來適應。這通常要求它們提升生產力並調整員工規模。混合辦公模式的興起也導致一些公司減少辦公空間。這些趨勢影響了樟宜商務園區的租賃率。
貿易與工業部將確保新加坡的生態系統繼續對企業具有吸引力。例如，財政部長黃循財在2024年預算案中宣佈，我們將推出新的可退還投資抵免，支援在新加坡開展高價值和實質性經濟活動的企業。除了財政激勵措施外，我們還將繼續投資研發，培養人才，並支援企業抓住外部市場和新增長領域的機遇。

SPRS Hansard · Fetched: 2026-05-02
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.
