How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| STI | state-backed growth capital can improve sentiment toward the domestic innovation and technology ecosystem | Up1-4w | government budget materials said the scheme would be enhanced with S$1 billion |
| SGD | fiscal support can be neutral-to-positive for risk sentiment, but the FX effect is not direct | Watch1-5d | the funding expansion was announced as part of budget policy |
| A17U | broader tech and investment support can benefit Singapore-linked growth sentiment, though the link is indirect | Up1-4w | the scheme was expanded beyond early-stage startups to growth-stage companies |
