SINGAPORE (Feb 22): Our journey towards SG100 continues with moving forward together – the Singapore Way – in Budget 2017.

The world is going through a period of great uncertainty and rapid technological change. In this year’s budget, the Finance Minister reaffirms the Singapore way to respond to such challenges. Singapore must take a learning and adaptive approach, try new methods, draw on feedback, adjust and refine our plans as we move forward together with a can-do spirit.

Budget 2017 builds on the foundation laid out in Budget 2016. The Industry Transformation Maps have been launched for six sectors and will continue to be rolled out for the remaining 17 sectors within FY2017. The Adapt and Grow initiative introduced last year will be enhanced for both the Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians and rank-and-file workers in transition.
