Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 4: Mark Lee on IMC and SME Pro-Enterprise Office
In parliament on Wednesday (Mar 5), NMP Mark Lee asked for an update on two initiatives to streamline processes, reduce compliance costs and ensure that pro-enterprise policies translate into real benefits. One is the SME Pro-Enterprise Office, whose job is to tackle regulatory challenges and strengthen Singapore's pro-business environment. The other initiative is the Inter-Ministerial Committee for Pro-Enterprise Rules Review, which was formed to ensure that regulations remain agile, business-friendly and aligned with Singapore's economic competitiveness. Mr Lee wanted to know how these efforts would help businesses stay competitive amid rising costs and global headwinds.
