Singapore-based investors see technology as the leading driver of business change over regulation, geopolitics, or supply chain instability, a PwC survey showed. More than half expect generative AI to boost corporate productivity, revenue, and profitability, without replacing employees. Eighty-four percent believe businesses should invest in workforce upskilling, with about a third foreseeing AI-driven headcount increases of at least 5%. About half expect the economy to expand over the next year. Macroeconomic volatility ranked as the top concern for 51% of Singapore investors, followed by cyber risks and geopolitics. On sustainability, 71% would increase investment in firms taking climate action, while many want more detailed ESG reporting, with some seeing corporate sustainability claims as unsupported. The survey covered investors.
