[SINGAPORE] Firms in the Republic looking to expand overseas may have one advantage even as global trade becomes more fragmented: the “trust and reliability premium” associated with being a Singapore company. Speaking at The Business Times Budget Roundtable 2026: Levelling Up SMEs for Global Competition, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling said this premium was built over more than six decades of stable governance, respect for the rule of law, pro-business policies, and long-term partnerships between the government and companies. Drawing on feedback from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), she said international businesses value the stability Singapore offers. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/singapore/smes/singapores-trust-premium-gives-smes-edge-overseas (ICE SINGAPORE)
