[SINGAPORE] The Republic anchored some S$14.2 billion in fixed asset investment (FAI) commitments in 2025, more than a third of which were in electronics, the Economic Development Board (EDB) said in its annual year-in-review on Monday (Feb 9). This was 5.3 per cent higher than the S$13.5 billion secured in 2024. FAI refers to a company’s incremental capital investment in facilities, equipment and machinery. Total business expenditure commitments rose 6 per cent to S$8.9 billion, from S$8.4 billion in 2024, with the majority coming from investments in headquarters, professional services, and research and development (R&D). Yet the investment commitments are expected to contribute just S$18 billion in value-added per annum, down 23 per cent from S$23.5 billion in 2024. Job creation is also expected to fall. EDB said the commitments are expected to create 15,700 jobs when realised over the next five years, down 16 per cent from 18,700 in 2024. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/singapores-investment-commitments-rise-5-3-s14-2-billion-2025 (ICE SINGAPORE)
