SINGAPORE is not anticipating any major or sustained supply chain disruptions for essential goods from the Covid-19 situation in China, said Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling in Parliament on Tuesday (Jan 10).

However, some localised disruptions in China’s production capabilities and supply chains may be seen in the short term, added the minister in response to a question from Workers’ Party Member of Parliament He Ting Ru.

“Over the past few years, companies in Singapore have strengthened their business continuity and supply chain resilience plans, and we encourage them to continue doing so to mitigate supply chain disruptions,” said Low.
