Budget 2025 brings more support for households and businesses. Every Singaporean household will receive S$800 in CDC vouchers, while eligible HDB households get up to S$760 in U-Save rebates.

Families will benefit from S$500 LifeSG credits for young children and top-ups for students' education accounts, alongside higher ComCare Assistance and pension support.

For businesses, a 50% corporate tax rebate (capped at S$40,000) and increased wage co-funding will provide financial relief. But are these measures enough to tackle Singaporeans' cost-of-living concerns?
