18,000 roles, most in PMET, to be created over next 5 years; almost 7,000 in manufacturing sector

The fixed asset investment commitments secured by Singapore in 2024 are expected to create around 18,000 new roles, most of them for PMETs (professionals, managers, executives and technicians), in the next five years. Almost 7,000 of those highly-skilled positions will be in the manufacturing sector and in areas like design engineering, biotechnology and quality assurance. These new roles will support the manufacturing facilities in producing high-value products in Singapore. Nasyrah Rohim reports, while Economic Development Board managing director Jacqueline Poh shares more about attracting investments.
