Budget 2026 may give firms more targeted, strategic support to navigate global uncertainty
Observers say AI adoption will be a major focus of this year’s Budget, alongside renewed emphasis on internationalisation and sustainability
[SINGAPORE] Rather than broad-based assistance, companies can expect more targeted and strategic support from Budget 2026 to help them navigate macroeconomic uncertainty and ongoing geopolitical tensions, said observers.
They highlighted artificial intelligence (AI), internationalisation, sustainability and cost management as key areas for increased government support, with the focus on helping businesses build capabilities in these fields to remain resilient and competitive.
Instead of introducing new programmes, existing schemes are likely to be enhanced or extended, they added.
