The Singapore government has brought forward its annual budget sitting, which usually takes place in February, to January 22 next year.
This is to address measures needed to tackle the current global economic downturn.
The government’s forecast for Singapore’s economic growth next year is between a contraction of 1.0 per cent and growth of 2.0 per cent.
