  • The US has announced that it will impose 10% baseline tariffs on all countries, including Singapore.

We will continue to create more opportunities for our businesses through our network of free trade agreements, and our digital and green economy agreements. Budget 2025 includes various measures to support households and businesses and to upgrade and grow our economy.

    The US has announced that it will impose 10% baseline tariffs on all countries, including Singapore. It will also impose reciprocal tariffs on countries with which it has the largest trade deficits. Singapore is disappointed, but we have decided not to respond with import duties of our own. Doing so will only increase costs for our businesses and people. Instead, we will engage our US counterparts to understand their concerns, and hope to work constructively with them to address any issues. We must be prepared for choppy waters ahead of us. Our bigger concern is that the tariffs will lead to tit-for-tat retaliation by others, trigger an escalating cycle of tariffs and a global trade war. This will significantly impact the global economy, as well as Singapore. The Ministry of Trade and Industry (Singapore) is reviewing our growth forecast to see if it needs to be adjusted. Singapore will work with ASEAN countries to deepen regional economic integration, and with other like-minded partners to preserve and strengthen the international rules-based trading system including the World Trade Organization. We will also work to open up more opportunities for our businesses through our network of free trade agreements, and our digital and green economy agreements. Budget 2025 includes many measures to support households and businesses, and to upgrade and grow our economy. We will continue monitoring this situation closely, and extend additional help where necessary. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gVgCfNu7

    I am pleased to hear that Chile has completed its ratification of the Pacific Alliance-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (PASFTA). Chile is an important economic partner in Latin America for Singapore. We share a strong and robust trade partnership supported by agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and Digital Economy Partnership Agreement (DEPA). The PASFTA is an additional pathway for Singapore companies to engage Chile as well as the large and dynamic Pacific Alliance market. Chile’s ratification of the PASFTA will bring the Agreement into effect for Chile, Peru and Singapore in the first instance. We look forward to the PASFTA’s entry into force on 3 May 2025. We also look forward to the Agreement’s entry into force for Colombia and Mexico in the near future.
