Published Jan 14, 2025, 1:22 AM

Public consultations for Budget 2025 have begun, with discussions circling four broad themes: economic strategies for the next bound; opportunities for skills upgrading and jobs for workers; support for Singaporeans across different life stages; and strengthening Singaporeans’ sense of solidarity and unity as the country marks SG60.

How are the aspirations of Singaporeans evolving and what are the areas of concern individuals and businesses hope the government will cover in the upcoming Budget for the year? 

On this episode of Morning Shot, Annie Koh, Professor Emeritus of Finance from the Lee Kong Chian School of Business at Singapore Management University shares her insights on those key themes.
