Chairman’s Message
I am pleased to report that EDB achieved another year of record investment commitments in 2011, with several of our investment indicators reaching new highs.
Pan-Asian Growth Opportunities
Singapore continues to play a valuable role to investors who are actively looking to tap into the Asian growth story. Asia has grown from being merely an attractive low-cost production base, to an important market in its own right, providing global companies with a key growth engine with enormous potential. In addition, many companies across different industries increasingly recognize the opportunity to tap into the pan-Asian market, where the potential of Asia goes beyond one or two large economies.
Singapore: The Global-Asia Hub
With these pan-Asian opportunities, traction for EDB’s Home Strategy is growing. Firms are making Singapore their strategic base for pan-Asian as well as global business functions, innovation and talent management activities.
Singapore’s unique positioning as a Global-Asia hub continues to set us apart. This is reflected in the investment commitments we achieved last year, where global companies looking to orchestrate their pan-Asian activities have benefited from Singapore’s strong economic fundamentals,
conducive business environment, excellent connectivity and pool of skilled talent. In the same way Asian companies looking to expand into global markets have used Singapore to build international capability, including in many cases to establish their international headquarters.
IBM opened the larger of its two global services integration hubs in Singapore, while Panasonic moved the global responsibility for procurement and logistics to Singapore, to manage
some US$57 billion worth of sourcing. Infineon Technologies, the second largest European semiconductor company, will invest €50 million in the expansion of production capacity and R&D in Singapore.
An example of an Asian company leveraging Singapore to access global markets is China’s Trina Solar, one of the world’s largest solar cell companies. Trina Solar has set up in Singapore, its regional headquarters responsible for Asia-Pacific (excluding China), Middle East and South Africa; and is exploring research collaborations with our research institutes. Similarly, India’s Tata Communications has set up its international headquarters in Singapore, which serves as the company’s global management services control tower, and is responsible for the development of new telecommunication services.
Capability Development Initiatives
As part of EDB’s effort to ensure Singapore’s value proposition is continually strengthened, we have sustained our strong focus on capability development. The Singapore Business Leadership Programme (SBLP), the flagship of the Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI), aims to develop the next generation of Asia-ready global leaders. The Precision Engineering Vocational Continuing Education & Training (PEVC), is a programme that will help us develop skilled master craftsmen and leadership in the fields of medical technology and precision engineering. On top of these initiatives, we continue to build pan-Asian capabilities in areas such as data analytics and consumer insights.
Conclusion
I extend my deep appreciation to my team who have worked hard across the world, to forge deep and mutually beneficial partnerships with companies, agencies and business leaders. The progress we have achieved this past year would also not have been possible without the strong support that you, our partner corporations and agencies, have given us. While the global economic outlook remains uncertain, we believe that we are well-positioned to achieve EDB’s vision for Singapore, to be a global leader, a great city and a home in Asia for business, innovation and talent.

1 FAI (Fixed Asset Investments) refers to capital investment in facilities, equipment and machinery.
2 TBS (Total Business Spending) refers to a company’s incremental operating expenditure. The major components include wages, depreciation and rental.
3 Traditionally, TBS has been a measure of EDB’s performance in attracting services investments, while FAI tracks manufacturing investments. Since 2008, EDB has used both FAI and TBS to measure all investment commitments for a more complete picture of the value generated. To further fine-tune this approach, the computation of TBS has been revised to exclude depreciation. As capital investments will continue to be accounted for through FAI, TBS less depreciation will be a more accurate indicator of economic activities that are not linked to fixed assets. 2011 is a transition year where both TBS and TBS less depreciation will be reported. From 2012 onwards, only TBS less depreciation will be tracked.
