    [新加坡] 财政部长Lawrence Wong于周四（2月12日）发表预算案声明时宣布，政府将向新加坡人发放一笔生活费特别补助，以及包括新一轮社区发展理事会（CDC）购物券在内的其他财务援助，以帮助国人应对生活成本压力。

    兼任总理的Wong说：“尽管近年来通货膨胀有所缓解，但我们知道许多新加坡人仍面临焦虑和压力。因此，我们今年将继续提供额外援助。”

    这笔生活费特别补助将于9月发放，金额介于200至400新元现金，预计将惠及约240万名成年新加坡公民。

    在2026年年满21岁及以上、估税年收入不超过10万新元且拥有不超过一处房产的新加坡居民将符合资格。补助金额将根据他们的估税收入和所住房产的年值分级发放。

    居住在组屋的家庭也将通过额外的水电费回扣获得水电费援助。符合条件的家庭将在本财年获得高达570新元的回扣，这相当于常规水电费回扣金额的1.5倍。

    此外，另一笔价值500新元的社区发展理事会购物券将于2027年1月发放给所有新加坡家庭（约140万户）。

    与前几轮的社理会购物券一样，其中一半金额可用于参与计划的超市，另一半可用于指定的邻里商家和小贩。

    黄总理说：“政府将继续采取一切必要措施，帮助新加坡人应对生活成本压力——只要有需要，我们就会一直这样做。”
