Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 1: Indranee Rajah on fiscal prudence and driving transformation
Sound public finance means fiscal prudence and sustainability - spending wisely to meet current needs, as well as maximising Singapore’s fiscal space, seizing new opportunities for growth and having the ability to deal with future challenges or crises. It also means value for money, and the government will continue to achieve more and deliver better outcomes for Singaporeans and Singapore. Finance is also a catalyst - the goal is to enable impact and catalyse innovation and transformation. Second Minister for Finance Indranee Rajah, who outlined these principles in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26), said the Ministry of Finance remains committed to ensuring that Singapore’s current and future needs can be met in a fiscally sound and sustainable manner.
