EDB secures $22.5b in fixed asset investment commitments in 2022

The electronic sectors accounted for two-thirds of FAI commitments for the year.

The Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) ended 2022 with a record-high fixed asset investment (FAI) commitment of $22.5b.

In a report, EDB said the electronics sector had the biggest contribution, accounting for around two-thirds of FAI commitments.

“The sector saw an exceptional inflow of large manufacturing projects in the first half of the year,” EDB commented.

Looking ahead, the statutory board said it does not expect the same level of FAI commitments in 2023 due to global macro-uncertainties, increased global competition for investments, and the sharp slowdown in demand that the semiconductor industry is experiencing.

Meanwhile, EDB also reported a $6.2b Total Business Expenditure per annum (TBE) commitment for 2022.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
