Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB) predicts fewer skilled jobs will be created in the sovereign city-state this year in light of increased uncertainty in the global economy.

The EDB said yesterday it had forecast 13k-14k skilled jobs would be created this year, down from 16.1k roles last year.

Most of the jobs created last year were in the professional services sector.

The EDB expects the level of business investment in 2015 to “moderate in line with Singapore’s stage of economic development, as well as the increased uncertainty of the global economic environment”.
