随着新冠疫情迈入第三个年头，本地企业逐渐摆脱疫情的阴霾积极寻求突破。新加坡工商联合总会于去年下半年所展开的全国商业调查显示，表示受疫情负面影响的企业占比，从前年的63%减少至32%。此外，对未来一年的商业和经济展望表示乐观的中小企业，也从前年调查中的29%增加至46%。

虽然各行业和企业的复苏程度不一，调查结果显示多数企业正在复苏或增长，情况令人鼓舞。

With the start of the new year, many companies are looking at ways to emerge stronger from the pandemic. It is encouraging to note that based on findings from SBF’s National Business Survey , SMEs that reported being negatively impacted by the pandemic fell from 63% in 2020 to 34% in 2021. This means that two-thirds of SMEs are recovering from the pandemic and are adapting well to the new normal. What’s more, about half are optimistic about improved business and economic conditions in 2022. This is a significant jump from 29% last year, an encouraging sign that sentiment amongst SMEs is indeed picking up.
