Economic Strategy Review final report published

30 July 2026

On 25 June 2026, the final report of the Economic Strategy Review (“ESR”), titled “Securing growth and good jobs in a changing world”, was published. The ESR is Singapore’s strategic plan to ensure Singapore continues to grow, create good jobs, and stay competitive in a world that is becoming more contested and fragmented. The strategy is intended to sharpen Singapore’s value proposition; enhance agility and adaptability; and build resilience alongside efficiency.

The recommendations set out in the ESR are intended to drive both business expansion and workforce development. Through these recommendations, the ESR aims to help Singapore not only withstand change but also seize new opportunities and strengthen prospects for Singaporeans.

These imperatives shape eight thrusts:

• Build global leadership in areas of strength and invest in future growth
• Make Singapore a global leader in artificial intelligence
• Strengthen Singapore’s role as a connected and trusted hub
• Foster a more dynamic enterprise ecosystem
• Create more and a broader range of good jobs
• Establish a stronger system for career transitions and worker support
• Empower workers to learn for life and take charge of their careers
• Build economic resilience
