## Enhancing Workforce Development

The extension of the SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit (SFEC) until June 2025 highlights
the government’s commitment to workforce development. Businesses now have more time
to utilize the credit for enterprise and workforce transformation programs, emphasizing
skills enhancement as a key driver of future growth.

## Nurturing Robust Businesses through Enhanced Financing

The Budget introduces significant enhancements to the Enterprise Financing Scheme(
EFS), increasing the maximum loan quantum for SME Working Capital Loans and maintaining
elevated loan quantum for Trade Loans and Project Loans. This emphasizes the critical
need for accessible financing to support the growth and sustainability of businesses.
