KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Singaporeans can share feedback for Budget 2026 from 2 Dec to 12 Jan
- Views sought on jobs, business growth, seniors, and social support
- Feedback may influence Budget measures announced in Feb 2026
From 2 December to 12 January, Singaporeans are invited to share ideas and concerns ahead of Budget 2026, which will be announced in February 2026.
Honestly speaking, this is one of the few windows where public feedback can shape future policies — from jobs to cost of living to support for seniors.
For most Singaporeans, this is worth paying attention to.
What Budget 2026 Covers
The Singapore Budget is prepared for each financial year from 1 April to 31 March.
It includes:
- Updated revenue and spending figures for the current year
- Estimated spending plans for the year ahead
In short, it decides where government money goes — and who gets support.
| Key Area | What It Means for Singaporeans |
|---|---|
| Government Spending | How much goes to healthcare, education, transport, and support schemes |
| Jobs & Economy | Policies that affect employment, wages, and business growth |
| Social Support | Help for seniors, families, and vulnerable groups |
| Future Planning | Investments in skills, technology, and long-term stability |
What MOF Is Asking For Feedback On
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has outlined three main themes for Budget 2026.
Advancing Singapore’s Economy
MOF wants views on how to:
- Build a stronger entrepreneurship culture
- Help local businesses expand overseas
- Support companies using new technologies like AI
This matters especially for SMEs and start-ups trying to survive rising costs.
Securing Good Jobs for Singaporeans
Key questions include:
- How to help students and workers stay relevant as technology changes
- Barriers to upgrading skills — time, money, or access
- Encouraging employers to invest more in staff development
- Helping seniors stay employed while managing work-life balance
Worth thinking about if you’re mid-career or planning ahead.
Uplifting Singaporeans to Progress Together
MOF is also asking about:
- Ensuring every child gets a fair chance, regardless of background
- Helping seniors age well, especially those needing more care
- Better support for persons with disabilities
No need to overthink — practical, lived experiences are useful here.

Why This Matters
Budget announcements don’t appear out of nowhere.
Public feedback helps highlight real pain points — rising costs, job uncertainty, ageing concerns — especially from everyday Singaporeans.
If you’ve ever said, “They should do something about this,” this is the moment to say it properly.
