Budget 2026: Singapore extends Senior Employment Credit through 2027

A tripartite workgroup will deliver senior job recommendations later this year.

Singapore will step up support for senior workers, helping them plan for later-stage careers and refresh their skills, whilst encouraging employers to design age-friendly jobs and multi-generational workplaces. 

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has set up a tripartite workgroup on senior employment to study these issues, with recommendations expected later this year. 

“In the meantime, we will extend the Senior Employment Credit to end 2027 to support employers who continue to employ senior workers as we create better jobs and upskill Singaporeans,” Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said at the Singapore Budget 2026.

Singapore will also maintain an open approach to global talent.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
