Attention, Singapore! We have an important event coming up that will shape the future of our nation. The Budget 2026 speech by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong is a crucial moment for all of us.
PM Wong, who also holds the Finance Minister portfolio, will deliver his Budget statement on February 12th at 3:30 pm in Parliament. This year's Budget promises to tackle issues that directly impact our daily lives, such as rising costs, an unpredictable global environment, and the ever-evolving role of technology.
The Straits Times is here to keep you informed with live coverage of the event. In the lead-up to Budget 2026, seven proposals from five committees were unveiled as part of the Economic Strategy Review. These proposals are designed to guide Singapore's economic strategy, ensuring we adapt to change while maintaining our competitiveness on the global stage.
PM Wong emphasized, "Our priority is clear: To secure growth and good jobs for Singaporeans." He further highlighted key ideas from the ESR, including extending Singapore's leadership in key industry clusters, positioning us as a global AI hub, promoting practical lifelong learning, and enhancing job opportunities across various sectors.
Some of these recommendations will be addressed during Budget 2026 and subsequent debates. Stay tuned to witness PM Wong's speech and receive real-time updates from our special live coverage on the ST website on February 12th.
