Budget 2025 debate: Derrick Goh on upholding fiscal prudence in a volatile world and growing Singapore's economy
How will Singapore use its fiscal surpluses to further enhance its infrastructure and capabilities for it to be an even more vibrant financial centre, compelling tourist destination and flourishing metropolis? Will there be enhancements to Forward SG’s plans, given a global landscape that is now more complex than when it was first launched, and what is the government’s thinking to realise those plans faster? MP Derrick Goh raised these questions in parliament on Thursday (Feb 27), where he highlighted the three key themes of his speech - upholding fiscal prudence in a volatile world, growing Singapore's economy and doubling down on social resilience and safety.
