Budget edition! What are some words that come to mind when we think of Budget?

Budget Day is on 18 Feb, less than a month away. The Budget will focus on topics such as how we can help our workers and businesses thrive in a post-COVID world, strengthen our social fabric and build a sustainable environment.

During Minister @lawrencewongst’s engagement with @ntucsingapore union leaders yesterday for #SGBudget2022, they discussed many topics including jobs, cost of living and priorities for our future. Read on to find out more!
_________________
• @lawrencewongst #EveryWorkerMatters. The past 2 years have not been easy for many of our workers. Thanks to our strong tripartite partnership between unions, employers and the Government, we are pressing ahead with our recovery.

My engagement with our union leaders yesterday was lively and constructive. We discussed many topics, including jobs, cost of living and priorities for our future.

How can we further invest in our workers? How can we make bigger moves to go green? How can we strengthen our social compact? It means that Government spending will have to go up, and revenue is needed to turn our priorities into reality.

Thanks @ntucsingapore and unions for your hard work. We continue to champion and support our workers, and create more good jobs for our workforce. More will be announced in my #SGBudget2022 speech on 18 Feb.

The plan to raise the GST by two percentage points, from 7 per cent to 9 per cent, was first announced in 2018 during then-Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat’s Budget speech.

“Increasing GST by two percentage points will provide us with revenue of almost 0.7 per cent of GDP per year.”
