Chris Woo, Tax Leader, PwC Singapore, said:

“Singapore is deeply connected to the global value chain. While this has brought about growth for the country, it also makes it easily impacted by instability in geopolitics. In addition, other external challenges such as climate change pose a risk to the long-term security of the Republic.

“PwC Singapore’s list of recommendations for Budget 2020 underlines key aspects that can enhance the city-state’s competitiveness, security as well as support its enterprises and people.

"As we continue to embrace technology and move towards becoming a Smart Nation, measures can be put in place to help businesses navigate challenges faced as they innovate, collaborate and internationalise. This can be supplemented with greater support for investments in technology start-ups to help push Singapore in the right direction.”
