    THE SG60 Budget, aptly themed “Onward together for a better tomorrow”, reflects the country’s ambition to propel forward into its next lap of inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

    A recent Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development paper on Singapore’s budgeting framework – Budgeting in Singapore in 2025– lauds the government’s steadfast commitment to maintaining fiscal discipline.

    With the better-than-expected accumulated surpluses from 2021 to 2024, it is from this position of strength that the measures proposed in Budget 2025 underpin the country’s longer-term priorities for fiscal sustainability.
