Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong will speak about Singapore’s aim to create a more inclusive society and dynamic economy amid global headwinds, at a roundtable organised by The Straits Times and The Business Times on Monday.
This includes effective training for workers, how to share tax burdens equitably and the current hot topic of housing prices. The ST-BT Budget Roundtable 2023, which is sponsored by UOB, takes place the day that Parliament wraps up the annual debates on the budgets of various ministries. The panel features Mr Wong, who is also Finance Minister; UOB senior economist Alvin Liew; and National Trades Union Congress vice-president K. Thanaletchimi, who is also president of the Healthcare Services Employees’ Union.
They will discuss the social and economic challenges that the city-state faces in a post-Covid-19 era, and how to navigate them.One issue to be tackled is how Singapore can bridge the medium-term gap between government revenue and expenditure, with FY2023 expected to run a $400 million fiscal deficit., such as the new Job-Skills Integrators initiative and how it can improve training scheme outcomes.
