Programme Introduction




1. The Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) together with the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) is pleased to organize the briefing on changes to foreign workers policy for our members.

2. In recent months, the impact of the sharp economic downturn has been felt in the Singapore labour market. Employment growth has slowed significantly for both locals and foreigners in the last quarter of 2008. Overall unemployment rate crept up to 2.6% in Dec 08, while resident unemployment rose to 3.7%. Going into 2009, the Singapore economy is projected to contract between 2% to 5%, weakening our labour market considerably. Job growth will moderate further, while redundancies and unemployment is expected to be higher.

3. Notwithstanding the economic downturn, there is still a need to maintain flexibility in our foreign manpower policies. Foreign manpower keeps our businesses globally competitive and helps augment our local workforce. To ensure that foreign workers continue to be of high standard, MOM will be rolling out measures to improve the skills and quality of foreign workers coming here.

4. All members are urged to attend this briefing!
