Similar to CDC vouchers, half of the sum can be spent at supermarkets, and the rest at heartland merchants and hawkers.Second, individuals will get a 60 per cent personal income tax rebate, capped at S$200, for YA2025.Third, all Singaporean babies born this year will receive an SG60 Baby Gift, with details to come at the Prime Minister’s Office Committee of Supply debate.4. S$4 billion for research and developmentAs global competition intensifies, Singapore must redouble efforts to stay competitive and dynamic, said PM Wong.To strengthen research and development (R&D), an additional S$3 billion will be injected into the National Productivity Fund.Another S$1 billion will be invested into enhancing R&D infrastructure. This includes a new national semiconductor R&D fabrication facility for prototyping and testing innovations, as well as a refresh of biosciences and medtech research infrastructure in the one-north area.5. S$1 billion private capital fund for high-growth firmsA new S$1 billion Private Credit Fund will give high-growth local companies more financing options.This is part of several moves to strengthen the “enterprise ecosystem”, including a Global Founder Programme to get global founders to start ventures here.Separately, up to S$150 million will be set aside under the Enterprise Compute Initiative to help companies adopt artificial intelligence.Existing support schemes for internationalisation and for mergers and acquisitions will also be extended.5. Tax incentives to rejuvenate the local bourseThe Monetary Authority of Singapore equities market review group has made recommendations to strengthen the attractiveness of the local stock market.PM Wong accepted the group’s recommendations to introduce tax incentives for Singapore-based companies and fund managers that list on the Singapore Exchange.Tax incentives will also be rolled out for fund managers that “invest substantially” in Singapore-listed equities. More details will be shared by the review group soon, said PM Wong.6. Fresh injections to support energy, air infrastructureSingapore’s growth plans must also be supported by world-class infrastructure, said PM Wong.The Changi Airport Development Fund will be topped up by S$5 billion. The government will also provide a guarantee to Changi Airport Group to lower borrowing costs needed to develop Terminal 5 and supporting infrastructure.To meet Singapore’s growing energy needs, a fresh S$5 billion will be injected into the Future Energy Fund.7. Helping workers upskillIn response to feedback, the SkillsFuture Level-Up Programme – announced in Budget 2024 – will be extended to cover part-time training, with a fixed monthly allowance of S$300.For lower-wage workers aged 30 and above, Workfare Skills Support will be enhanced from 2026 for those who pursue long-term training.Employers will also get help to train workers. A new SkillsFuture Workforce Development Grant streamlines existing schemes and will provide higher funding support of 70 per cent for job redesign.The SkillsFuture Enterprise Credit will also be redesigned, with a fresh S$10,000 for eligible companies.8. New Large Families Scheme for those with three or more childrenA Large Families Scheme will support families with three or more children.This includes a S$5,000 top-up to the Child Development Account First Step Grant for each third and subsequent child born from Feb 18, to be used for preschool and healthcare expenses.Mothers will also receive a S$5,000 Large Family Medisave Grant for each third and subsequent child born from Feb 18, which can be used to offset pregnancy and delivery costs.Lastly, families will get S$1,000 a year in LifeSG credits for each of their third and subsequent children, until the child is six years old. This can be used to defray a wide range of household expenses, said PM Wong.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"STI.SI":1.1}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1199,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":345088874082520,"gmtCreate":1725278294229,"gmtModify":1725284234419,"author":{"id":"4101342527315700","authorId":"4101342527315700","name":"Big boi","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101342527315700","authorIdStr":"4101342527315700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bro going to get cucked again after all his doom posting 😂","listText":"Bro going to get cucked again after all his doom posting 😂","text":"Bro going to get cucked again after all his doom posting 😂","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/345088874082520","repostId":"2464811097","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1845,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":343884983759112,"gmtCreate":1724996776615,"gmtModify":1724998989382,"author":{"id":"4101342527315700","authorId":"4101342527315700","name":"Big boi","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101342527315700","authorIdStr":"4101342527315700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K bro, just sell your stock instead of yapping then","listText":"K bro, just sell your stock instead of yapping then","text":"K bro, just sell your stock instead of yapping then","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/343884983759112","repostId":"1143522875","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1868,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9076957308,"gmtCreate":1657777943904,"gmtModify":1676536060849,"author":{"id":"4101342527315700","authorId":"4101342527315700","name":"Big boi","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4101342527315700","authorIdStr":"4101342527315700"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"What about guidance for next Q.

The apparent catalyst for the sell-off was a surprisingly hot Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Friday that stoked fresh rate hike fears.</p><p>Wood&#39;s flagship Ark Innovation <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PSFF\">Pacer Swan SOS Fund of Funds ETF|ETF</a> — which rose to fame for big gains in 2020 and 2021 with rates being at record lows — mostly contains risky earlier stage tech companies, and it&#39;s these companies in particular that are seeing either greater losses or waning profits amid higher rates and slower economic growth.</p><p>One name Wood has been buying of late, for instance, is crypto platform Coinbase. Shares are down 80% year to date amid a new crypto winter that has forced the company to slow its growth. On Tuesday, the company announced an 18% reduction in its workforce.</p><p>ARKK&#39;s top three holdings — <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ZM\">Zoom</a>, Tesla, and Roku — have also seen outsized losses so far in 2022.</p><p>Wood doesn&#39;t sound like a shaken investor, however.</p><p>&#34;Many people have denigrated our strategies as &#39;profitless tech,&#39; &#39;concept capital,&#39; or &#39;tech wreck&#39; —terms you didn’t hear during the tech bubble,&#34; she told Goldman. &#34;That’s a beautiful thing in some ways because it means that a lot of negative news is already priced in. Yet, despite that pessimism, 2022-2024 consensus estimates of revenue growth for our portfolios are in the 25-27% range. &#34;If this were a replay of the tech bubble, our portfolios would be showing negative expected revenue growth.&#34;</p><p>Wood continued: &#34;The consensus estimate for the gross margins of our companies, which we believe provides a sense of the underlying profitability of our companies, also has them moving up slightly, whereas margins were moving down at this point in the tech bust. Despite these differences, investors are still running for the hills — towards their benchmarks — a decision we think will prove to be as wrong as racing towards the dream was during the dot-com bubble.&#34;</p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
