KPMG and SID Unveil Budget 2025 Recommendations to Build a Ready, Refreshed, and Resilient Singapore, Driving Value Creation and Global Leadership

Foster Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) adoption by Singapore enterprises through national frameworks, grants, and a hub to align with global sustainability standards. Accelerate innovation through increased funding for the development of sustainable technologies and the adoption of artificial intelligence. Strengthen workforce capabilities with targeted professional growth programmes, leadership benchmarks, and micro-credentialling to prepare talent for global challenges. SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 January 2025 – KPMG in Singapore and the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID) are pleased to announce the release of our joint Budget 2025 Proposal, titled “Designing Singapore’s future together: Ready, refreshed and resilient for tomorrow.” The Proposal charts strategic recommendations to position Singapore as a global leader in value creation, emphasising the nation’s ability to attract talent, investments, and innovation while leveraging the capital markets to generate a cascading impact across the economy. Transformational changes initiated within the capital markets will enable Singapore enterprises to align with these shifts, fostering their growth and driving Singapore’s collaborative, long-term ambitions. A key component of this vision is enhancing corporate governance standards to build investor confidence, positioning enterprises as global benchmarks for integrity and transparency. By nurturing trust and accountability across the business ecosystem – from multinational corporations to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) – Singapore can lay the foundation for inclusive, sustained growth. In addition, we recommend stimulating greater organic innovation through research and development, supported by incentives and green financing, to further drive this transformation. Our Budget 2025 Proposal also introduces recommendations designed to create a “fast pass” approach for businesses, providing quick assistance, ready-to-use templates, and a swift start for those eager to embark on complex and long journeys in areas like sustainability and technology. This approach aims to accelerate their transformation through well-structured support systems facilitated by the government, enabling companies to adopt innovative solutions and sustainable practices more effectively, while elevating Singapore’s global reputation as a hub for value creation. The Proposal focuses on these key areas of value creation: Advancing ESG Priorities – Empowering Singapore enterprises to adopt sustainable practices through national frameworks, targeted grants, and reporting guidance. A dedicated industry hub will offer crucial support, ensuring businesses can align with international ESG standards and contribute to Singapore’s sustainability transition. Driving Innovation – Harnessing blended finance and green financing initiatives to support businesses, particularly those in “hard to abate” industries, in their decarbonisation efforts. These grants and incentives help mitigate investment risks, encouraging the participation of a more diverse spectrum of funding stakeholders and cultivating a robust ecosystem of financing options. Furthermore, leveraging carbon tax revenues and enhanced government subsidies can complement these efforts, spurring further research and development efforts in sustainable technologies and accelerating the creation of commercially viable carbon reduction solutions. Enhancing Talent Development – Strengthening workforce capabilities through leadership benchmarks and targeted professional growth initiatives, such as micro-credentialling, while aligning with the Forward Singapore agenda. By focusing on building globally and regionally capable talent, these measures ensure Singapore’s workforce is prepared to meet evolving challenges and further solidify the nation’s position as a talent hub in the region. Supporting International Growth – Singapore can reinforce its position as a global hub by introducing strategic measures to enable businesses to excel internationally while addressing emerging challenges. Enhancing grants and financing schemes will encourage cross-border partnerships in high-growth areas such as the digital and green economies, fostering regional collaboration and supporting Singapore companies in diversifying across ASEAN. A government-backed transfer pricing advisory programme can provide consultation and financial support to small enterprises, helping them align with international standards, reduce compliance risks, and enhance operational efficiency in complex tax environments. Highlights of Our Recommendations 1. Ready: Leading with Sustainable Impact Regionally and Into the Future The rising global emphasis on sustainability positions Singapore to lead by example. By establishing robust frameworks and standards, the nation can solidify its climate resilience and reinforce its role as a trusted hub for sustainable business practices and long-term economic growth. KPMG and SID recommend: a) Increase transparency in the allocation of carbon tax revenues (page 8) to strengthen clarity in the industry to undertake green initiatives. Detailed disclosures on the use of these funds can enable businesses to align their investments with Singapore’s climate agenda. b) Develop a centralised ESG reporting hub to guide businesses in adopting consistent sustainability practices (page 12). This hub, established through government and industry collaboration, would help businesses navigate reporting requirements and align themselves with international sustainability standards. c) Deploy incentives for blended finance to accelerate Singapore’s green transition (pages 17 and 18). Strategic grants and first-loss guarantees could enhance the funding landscape for large-scale sustainable projects while supporting programmes that mitigate climate risks for vulnerable communities such as low-income groups. d) Launch a decarbonisation assistance facility (page 19) that provides long-term financial support for businesses in hard-to-abate sectors. Grants and competitively priced loans would facilitate energy efficiency, clean energy adoption, and the exploration of innovative solutions across challenging industries. 2. Refreshed: Uplifting Tomorrow’s Workforce Singapore’s workforce is integral to sustaining its competitive edge. To remain a top destination for global talent and leadership, Singapore must equip its workforce with the skills and capabilities needed to drive innovation and address future challenges. KPMG and SID recommend: a) Establish a National Leadership Competency Index (page 23) to help organisations evaluate and grow their leadership pipeline. This index would serve as a benchmark to track and enhance essential competencies, building a talent pool that supports local and regional growth. b) Expand investments in micro-credentialling and increase accessibility to SkillsFuture funding (page 24). Short-term certifications in high-demand areas such as AI, sustainability, and cybersecurity would address immediate skills gaps, while tax incentives and grants can encourage businesses to sponsor such upskilling programmes. c) Mandate regular, robust board evaluations conducted by external facilitators (page 28). By adopting rigorous performance reviews similar to the UK’s standards, companies can enhance governance and transparency across sectors. Encouraging companies to develop the competencies of their directors and adopt an unbiased, objective perspective to the review process will

Between 2020 and 2023, its membership base grew by 117%, with a compound annual growth rate of 22%. A significant portion of this growth came from younger users, solidifying youthification as a core strategic direction. To appeal to this demographic, Dossen leverages a combination of unique brand identity and emotional value. While maintaining its core promise of “good hotels at affordable prices,” Miao Club enhances emotional connections with its audience through Qingmao’s relatable and endearing personality. Cheng Xinhua underscored the transformative potential of this approach: “The youthification strategy is a vital driver for transforming and upgrading the traditional hotel industry.” Looking Ahead: A New Era for Miao Club The journey with Qingmao is just beginning. As a “travel companion and workplace partner,” Qingmao is set to explore new opportunities to strengthen its role in youth-oriented hospitality.
