Even though the budget lays down the plans for the economy to ensure it sustains to the next 50 years, Finance Minister, Mr Heng Swee Keat went on to address short and near term issues as well.
Much of the Budget addresses the need to enhance partnerships between government agencies, enterprises, trade associations and chambers (TACs) and unions. At the same time, Budget 2016 presented measures to help the economy restructure and grow domestically yet at the same time equipping it to compete internationally.

Below are some points to take-away from Singapore Budget 2016.
