Singapore Secures S$14.2B Investment in 2025

Singapore secured S$14.2 billion in fixed asset investments in 2025, reinforcing its position as one of Asia’s most resilient economic hubs. The latest figures released by the Economic Development Board (EDB) reflect sustained investor confidence despite global economic uncertainty and moderating growth across key economies.

The committed investments are projected to generate approximately 15,700 new jobs over the next five years, with many positions expected to offer salaries above S$5,000 per month. According to officials, the majority of new roles will be concentrated in advanced manufacturing, digital technology, and financial services — sectors considered critical to Singapore’s long-term competitiveness.

While the projected job creation figure represents one of the lowest forecasts in recent decades, policymakers emphasized that the focus has shifted toward higher-value employment and productivity-driven growth rather than large-scale hiring. Automation, artificial intelligence adoption, and capital-intensive industries are reshaping the labor landscape.

Economic analysts note that Singapore continues to benefit from geopolitical stability, strong regulatory frameworks, and its role as a regional headquarters hub for multinational corporations. However, they caution that global trade tensions and shifting supply chains could influence future investment flows.

Despite external headwinds, Singapore’s ability to attract sustained capital inflows signals confidence in its strategic positioning as a gateway to Southeast Asia.
