With a moderate economic outlook and targeted support measures, the government aims to help Singaporeans adjust to new price realities while fostering confidence in the future. ### **Economic Context: Growth Amid Uncertainty** Singapore's economy grew by 4.4% in 2024, with the median income of resident workers rising 3.4% above inflation, bringing income inequality to its lowest level since 2000. Looking ahead to 2025, the outlook is more moderate, with growth projected at 1% to 3% and inflation expected to average 1.5% to 2.5%. While Singapore has bounced back strongly from the Covid-19 pandemic, Prime Minister Wong notes that greater global uncertainty lies ahead, particularly due to intensifying US-China competition which will have ripple effects on other nations. However, he emphasises that despite these global challenges, Singapore stands in a far stronger position today than it did 60 years ago. --- ### **![MOF | Press Releases](https://www.mof.gov.sg/images/default-source/default-album/mof-b2025-logo_horizontal-fullcolour.png?sfvrsn=3eb8851a_3)** ### **Key Measures ** **Direct Support for Households** - $800 CDC vouchers per household ($500 in May 2025, $300 in Jan 2026) - U-Save rebates up to $760 for HDB households - $500 LifeSG credits for children aged 12 and below - $500 Edusave/PSEA top-ups for ages 13-20 - Increased ComCare assistance rates for lower-income households - Climate vouchers increased to $400 for HDB households - Climate vouchers now extended to private property owners.  **Business Support** - 50% corporate income tax rebate (capped at $40,000) - Minimum $2,000 tax benefit for companies with at least one local employee in 2024 - Higher wage co-funding through Progressive Wage Credit Scheme in 2025 and 2026 - New $1 billion Private Credit Growth Fund for high-growth enterprises - Up to $150 million for Enterprise Compute Initiative to boost AI adoption - Extended Senior Employment Credit till 2026 - $200 million additional funding for NTUC's Company Training Committee Grant **Infrastructure & Development** - $5 billion top-up to Changi Airport Development Fund - $5 billion for Future Energy Fund - $3 billion added to National Productivity Fund - $1 billion for semiconductor R&D facility and one-north infrastructure - $5 billion for Coastal and Flood Protection Fund - New city campus for SUSS; The Singapore Universities Trust will be extended by 10 years to support fundraising for newer autonomous universities **Energy & Sustainability** - Active exploration of nuclear power, focusing on small modular reactors - Target: One-third of electricity from imports by 2035 - New Heavy Vehicle Zero Emissions Scheme - Electric Vehicle Charger Grant for heavy vehicles - New road tax for electric heavy vehicles from 2026 - Climate vouchers increased to $400, extended to private property owners **Employment & Skills** - Training allowance up to $3,000/month for full-time courses - $300/month for part-time upskilling from 2026 - New SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant with up to 70% funding support for job redesign - $10,000 [SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit](https://www.skillsfuture.gov.sg/sfec) for eligible employers - SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support: Up to $6,000 over 6 months - Enhanced support for lower-wage workers through Workfare Skills Support - CPF contribution rate increase by 1.5% for workers aged 55-65 from 2026 - Extended Senior Employment Credit till 2026 ### Read more at [www.singaporebudget.gov.sg](http://www.singaporebudget.gov.sg) ![](https://www.thefinancialcoconut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-1.png?width=232&height=232&name=image-png-1.png) While the global economic environment remains challenging, the 2025 Budget reflects the government’s commitment to supporting Singaporeans through these uncertain times. By addressing immediate cost-of-living pressures and investing in long-term social and economic resilience, the Budget aims to instill a sense of confidence and stability. As Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong noted, “We are adjusting to new price realities, but we are doing so with a clear plan and a degree of confidence. Together, we will navigate these challenges and emerge stronger.” The Singapore Budget 2025 aims to strike a careful balance between immediate relief and forward-looking investments. With targeted support for households, enhanced social safety nets, and measures to boost confidence, the government is laying the groundwork for a more resilient and inclusive future. As Singaporeans adapt to new economic realities, these measures provide both a cushion and a springboard for growth.
