    THERE may be global uncertainties on the horizon, but Singapore can look ahead with a degree of confidence – thanks to both its position of strength, and support from Budget 2025.

    Finance Minister Lawrence Wong has called his first Budget as prime minister “a Budget for all Singaporeans”.

    Living up to that claim is no easy feat, but few Singaporeans will find themselves left out of a generous Budget that celebrates SG60 and tackles cost-of-living anxieties.
