AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

AI for jobs and productivity: Singapore will use AI to protect workers’ jobs and boost competitiveness, with PM Lawrence Wong stressing “embrace on our own terms” as business leaders recalibrate expectations on job losses. Cross-border retail pressure: With the JB-SG RTS Link due in Jan 2027, a study projects Singapore residents will spend an extra S$1.05b yearly in Johor Bahru, while Johor visitors add S$756m in Singapore—net outbound of S$290m, hitting grocery, drugstore, food and beauty hardest. Fraud governance: As AI adoption in fraud and AML becomes near-universal, the focus shifts to governing AI properly to avoid compliance failures from unauthorised “shadow AI.” Construction AI costs: Singapore construction firms cite implementation cost as a major barrier to AI, even as BCA expects demand of $47b–$53b in 2026. Hospitality tech: Radisson and Accenture launch an AI-powered hotel discovery experience inside ChatGPT, pushing “agentic commerce” for travel planning. Regional manufacturing push: Singapore-led efforts explore building an ASEAN shared AI manufacturing ecosystem around the Johor-Singapore corridor. Trade and supply chain: Shein is scaling back Vietnam after tariffs and trade tensions undermine its warehouse experiment, cutting leased space and triggering layoffs. Energy execution gap: Wood Mackenzie says Southeast Asia will deliver under one-third of planned gas-fired power capacity by 2030, pointing to bottlenecks in LNG, financing and turbines. Data and biotech: NUS researchers use light-controlled yeast to make biological manufacturing more predictable—an enabling step for Singapore’s biotech ambitions.
