A PACKAGE is ready to help Singapore businesses and workers should the global economy take a nosedive, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.

Noting that the trade row between China and the United States has cast a pall on the global economy, he said the Cabinet has been discussing the recent slowdown and that the government will act if the situation turns bad.
