Budget 2023 highlights
Budget 2023 quick bites: Growth for SMEs
Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) may undoubtedly feel the heat from rising costs and inflation, but they can find some relief in this year’s Budget measures. Kexin Lim, our Partner specialising in Tax and SMEs, highlights what these measures are and how SMEs stand to benefit from them.
Nurturing local enterprises and tackling rising costs
Given the increasing pressure of the global inflation, SMEs are experiencing additional challenges. The extension of the Enterprise Financing Scheme and newly introduced SME Co-Investment Fund have been put in place to help businesses tide through the rising costs.
Transformation, upskilling and reskilling of the workforce
In aligning with the Forward Singapore exercise to equip and empower our people and to maintain Singapore’s competitiveness, our workers and businesses can tap on the Job-Skills Integrators and additional funding in the National Productivity Fund to seize new opportunities and create better paying jobs.

Why private businesses are uniquely placed to lead the way to a sustainable future
Private businesses are a unique type of organisation, set apart by their long-term focus and deeply-held values. Another differentiating factor is their position in the vanguard of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda. It’s a leadership role that will become increasingly evident in the coming years.
What leaders get wrong about responsibility
To bring better results, leaders should encourage shared responsibility in solving problems - creating a culture in which everyone feels responsible for the company’s success. By taking turns to ask and answer questions, leaders and employees improve their synergies.
