BUDGET 2025: $5b boost to Coastal and Flood Protection Fund

One-third of the city state at risk of coastal flooding.

Finance Minister Lawrence Wong has announced a $5b increase to Singapore’s Coastal and Flood Protection Fund as part of Budget 2025.

With one-third of the country at risk of coastal flooding, Wong outlined a range of solutions, including sea walls, tidal gates, barrages, and land reclamation.

Plans for land reclamation in the southeastern area to develop "Long Island" were also highlighted. He also noted studies are ongoing for Jurong Island and the Northwest Coast, with full coastal protection plans being developed for the entire island.

Additionally, water agency PUB PUB will complete studies for the Greater Southern Waterfront and Changi by the end of the year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
