For many countries, debt burdens and lack of access to international capital are enormous hurdles to meeting their ambitious biodiversity and climate goals.

With the latest launch of The Nature Conservancy's latest project in Ecuador late last year, the global conservation organisation now has six nature bond projects in implementation, and that’s expected to unlock approximately US$1 billion for conservation.

On this episode of Eco Money, Melissa Garvey, Global Director for Nature Bonds at The Nature Conservancy shares her insights on how funds for conservation & climate action unlocked through nature bonds.

Budget 2026: From Caution to Confidence - Can SMEs Seize the Budget Moment?

Budget 2026 was delivered yesterday against a backdrop of moderating growth and rising global uncertainty. The speech spanned business tax rebates, enhanced overseas expansion support, labour market adjustments, artificial intelligence initiatives, capital market funding, and more calibrated household support.

This episode of Morning Shot breaks down what stood out from the announcements, from the signal being sent to Singapore firms, to the shift in tone around household relief, and the structural bets on AI and capital markets.

As businesses and households begin digesting the measures, we also look ahead to what matters most in the months to come. The Breakfast Show is joined by Ovais Subhani, Senior Business Correspondent at The Straits Times.
