Government may unveil $7.5bn worth of special transfers

The amount is the highest since at least FY2004, beating FY2008's $7.4 billion.

According to OCBC, an overall budget surplus of $0.1 billion may be reported in the FY2011 Budget announcement. It will essentially balance the budget for this term of government, as the government tackles the twin issues of rising inflation and income disparity while balancing the medium-term challenges of raising productivity and economic competitiveness.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
