Two out of three finance professionals believe Fair Consideration Framework is working

Firms are hiring more Singaporeans now.

Two thirds of financial services workers in Singapore say that the Government’s Fair Consideration Framework is effective, according to recruitment firm Astbury Marsden.

Employers hiring more local candidates as a result of the framework, said 61% of financial services workers in Singapore.

The Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) imposes an obligation on all businesses to consider Singaporeans fairly for employment opportunities.

“The overwhelming sentiment amongst the Singaporean workforce is that the FCF is helping local candidates but care needs to be exercised to ensure it doesn’t hinder Singapore’s international appeal,” said Mark O’Reilly, Managing Director for Astbury Marsden Asia Pacific.

One fifth of financial services staff expect pay hike as a result of FCF.

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.
