Dragon year budget wish list from Grant Thornton
With the uncertainty of the direction of the world economy facing us in 2012 and the Singapore Government truly cognizant of the challenges in the year ahead, the forthcoming Budget will have to consider not just a Budget that addresses the long term challenges and issues but also address the uncertainties that lie in the year ahead of us in the Dragon year.
Gurdeep Randhay, Director, International Tax Services of Foo Kon Tan Grant Thornton LLP said, "The Dragon year is going to be challenging to say the least with the Euro crisis facing the Western European countries, austerity cuts facing hard-pressed economies such as Greece, Portugal and Spain, China slowing down, rising wage demands in China and Indonesia, Thailand recovering from the floods which will have a boost from infrastructure spending and Malaysia facing challenging elections, who says 2012 will not be eventful?"
Our 'tiny red dot' will not be immune from the impact of all or any of the changes and impact which the global economy is exposed to. Against this backdrop, what should the Minister of Finance think about? Grant Thornton presents its Budget 2012 wish list.
