Government intervention in the form of direct financial support is a key mechanism for maintaining social stability during periods of global economic volatility.
ComCare Interim Assistance will also be enhanced for lower-income households
[SINGAPORE] Households will get more CDC Vouchers and larger U-Save rebates to help them cope with cost pressures, as part of a S$900 million package announced on Wednesday (Jul 29).
ComCare Interim Assistance will also be enhanced to support lower-income families.
The household measures comprise about two-thirds of the package, which also includes support for businesses , such as a one-off cash grant for small and medium-sized enterprises.
This new package aims to “support households and businesses through this period of uncertainty”, said Second Minister for Finance Jeffrey Siow at a press conference.
This is the second tranche of support in response to the Middle East conflict, following an earlier S$1 billion support package announced in April.
That earlier package also included moves for both households and businesses, building upon existing measures in Budget 2026.
