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

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.
