Budget 2026: Budget surplus estimated at $8.5b for 2026

In 2025, the higher surplus is driven by more corporate tax collections.

Singapore expects a budget surplus of $8.5b or 1% of the GDP for 2026, smaller than in 2025, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

For FY2025, surplus was expected to be $15.1b or 1.9% of the GDP.

The higher surplus comes on the back of higher corporate tax collections, which increased further in the past year, Wong said in his Budget 2026 speech on 12 February.

“We also saw higher asset related revenue collections such as vehicle quota premiums and standard duty driven by strong demand for private vehicles and properties,” Wong said.

Singapore Budget

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
