Singapore

SINGAPORE's trade ministry and economic agencies are "firing on all cylinders" to create more jobs and keep the local labour market tight, said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday.

Speaking at a press conference, he outlined a three-pronged strategy for job creation. First, to encourage more startups to base themselves in Singapore, thereby creating the next generation of unicorns.
