Why This Matters
The SG60 package is structured to provide immediate cash relief and longer-term support. Lower- and middle-income households receive the highest payouts, while universal elements like vouchers and rebates ensure broad coverage.
With inflation affecting essentials such as food, utilities, and transport, these measures help stabilise household budgets while encouraging local spending.
