Creating opportunities to build a stronger Singapore
Singapore
EMERGING Stronger Together - the theme for Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat's Budget 2021 - highlights Singapore's aspirations to continue to find opportunities within the crisis and accelerate its transformation journey to emerge as a digital, innovation-led economy in the post-crisis world.
While the Budget addresses the immediate and exceptional challenges that businesses and Singaporeans face, it takes a more targeted, calibrated and fiscally prudent approach, after the government injected S$100 billion into the economy last year to cushion the impact from Covid-19.
