關鍵要點
- • 採用自願合併申報
- • 無當前審查行動
- • 關注AI市場競爭
支援自願申報,保障創新與競爭
關注監管是否充分
維持靈活合併監管機制

5號議員劉武揚安德烈問副總理兼貿易與工業部長:(a) 新加坡競爭與消費者委員會是否正在審查Meta收購本地人工智慧初創公司Manus的事項;(b) 部門如何評估此類收購對新加坡本土人工智慧創新生態系統競爭力的影響;(c) 現行的合併申報框架是否仍然適用。
顏金勇部長答:新加坡採用自願合併申報制度,以在有效監管與降低合規成本及不扼殺創新之間取得平衡。合併各方應自行評估其交易是否可能引發潛在的競爭問題。他們可以向新加坡競爭與消費者委員會(CCS)尋求合併前的討論或指導,以判斷合併是否可能具有反競爭性。
CCS目前並未審查Meta收購Manus一事。相關各方尚未向CCS申報合併評估,且沒有理由表明該收購可能在新加坡引發潛在的競爭問題。若CCS獲得相反資訊,有權介入調查。
新加坡的人工智慧(AI)創新生態系統非常活躍,許多公司和初創企業開發各種產品和服務。合併與收購是初創企業及其投資者常見的退出策略,尤其是在新興且快速發展的領域。CCS將持續監控人工智慧市場的發展,確保其保持競爭性並促進創新。

SPRS Hansard · Fetched: 2026-05-02
5 Mr Low Wu Yang Andre asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry (a) whether the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore is reviewing Meta's acquisition of local AI start-up Manus; (b) how the Ministry assesses the impact of such acquisitions on the competitiveness of Singapore's domestic AI innovation ecosystem; and (c) whether the current merger notification framework remains adequate.
Mr Gan Kim Yong : Singapore adopts a voluntary merger notification regime to balance between effective regulatory oversight while keeping compliance costs low and not stifling innovation. Merger parties are expected to self-assess whether their transaction gives rise to potential competition concerns. They may approach the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCS) for pre-notification discussions or seek guidance on whether the merger may be anti-competitive.
CCS is not currently reviewing Meta's acquisition of Manus. The parties involved have not notified CCS for a merger assessment and there has been no reason to suggest that the acquisition may result in potential competition issues in Singapore. CCS is empowered to step in if it obtains information suggesting otherwise.
Singapore's artificial intelligence (AI) innovation ecosystem is a vibrant one, with many companies and start-ups developing a broad range of products and services. Mergers and acquisitions is a common exit strategy for start-ups and their investors, especially in a new, fast-growing sector. CCS will monitor developments in the AI market to ensure that it remains competitive and facilitates innovation.
