Ministry of Finance pays for Instagram 'influencers' to promote Budget 2018

SINGAPORE - What do pretty pictures and financial planning have in common?

Budget 2018, it seems.

In an effort to reach out to younger Singaporeans, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) has paid for over 50 social media "influencers" to post on Instagram to promote the Budget process.

At least 30 posts by these young social media users have popped up since December last year, asking viewers to visit the Budget website to learn more about the Budget, or to share their feedback with government feedback unit Reach on its website and at its physical "listening posts" this month.

Budget Day this year falls on Feb 19.

The influencers have anywhere from 1,300 to 35,000 followers on Instagram. Some post photos of themselves at the listening posts while others share photos of their daily lives with captions about how the Budget relates to them. The posts are tagged as sponsored posts.

For example, blogger and property agent Cheng Kai Ting, who has about 21,800 followers, wrote: "Before we penned down our signatures to seal our union for #KenTingWeds, there was a lot of planning done to make sure we worked within our budget and planned our finances well for our future together.

"Similarly, the Singapore government has to plan the #SGBudget ahead to help us Singaporeans and support our businesses in the next Financial Year, and our President will pen down her signature as assent for the enactment of the Supply Bill."

新國財政部竟然用納稅人的錢付給年輕漂亮IG美女來“推廣”2018財政！

聽說是一個POST可以拿100新幣！

SINGAPORE: With economic transformation likely to remain in focus for Budget 2018, support for the Singaporean worker to undertake the journey will be high up on the Government’s to-do list.

Market watchers are also expecting the Budget, which will be delivered by Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat on Feb 19, to provide some clarity on tax increases as the Government strikes a balance between the country’s growing spending needs and maintaining fiscal sustainability.  

SKILLS UPGRADING

Amid a fast-changing labour market upended by rapid technological disruption, as well as an ageing and shrinking workforce, the Government has long been nudging Singaporeans to embark on a lifelong learning journey to be better prepared for future jobs.

A plethora of policies have been rolled out over the years, including SkillsFuture, training schemes such as the Professional Conversion Programmes under Workforce Singapore, and more recently, the set-up of the Global Innovation Alliance for Singaporeans to gain overseas experience.

Given how disruption and change remain key issues for the economy despite strengthening growth in 2017, the upcoming Budget will likely contain more support for the local workforce to acquire deeper skills that are in demand.

“Structural unemployment is an issue that the Government is concerned about,” said Nomura economist Brian Tan. Structural unemployment is caused by a mismatch in the skills of a worker and those required by an employer.

“You will find a lot of support for the ongoing re-skilling and up-skilling efforts aimed at helping people move from one industry to another, especially the PMETs (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) who have lost their jobs,” Mr Tan added.

Singaporeans who gave their views in the Pre-Budget 2018 Feedback Exercise organised by REACH and the Ministry of Finance also wanted more support for this.

“Many Singaporeans opined that there should be greater employer support for skill upgrading and highlighted the need to help the employers to recognise the value of training their employees,” the media release said.

Some also suggested the lowering of the minimum age for SkillsFuture Credit to allow “fresh graduates to bridge the skills gap before entering the workforce”.

TAX HIKES?

Another area that Singaporeans are looking out for will be the possibility of higher taxes, which has dominated the chatter leading up to Budget 2018 since Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said last November that raising taxes will be inevitable amid rising spending on infrastructure and social needs.

Some economists and tax experts are expecting a hike in the Goods and Services Tax (GST), given how Singapore’s rates remain comparatively low against regional countries.  

Maybank economist Chua Hak Bin, for one, is expecting the GST, which was last raised to 7 per cent from 5 per cent in 2007, to be increased to 9 per cent.

“A 2 percentage points GST increase could raise an additional S$3.2 billion, helping to cover the current operating fiscal deficit gap, estimated at some S$5.6 billion in FY2017,” he said.

Tax-free purchases made online may also be seeing numbered days as the Government looks to follow in the footsteps of regional countries to bring fast-growing e-commerce purchases under the local tax regime, experts said.

Mr Heng brought up the possibility of e-commerce tax in Budget 2017, while Senior Minister of State for Law and Finance Indranee Rajah said in a recent interview that the Government is still studying the best way to tax online shopping.

Meanwhile, other forms of taxes such as property, wealth taxes, as well as duties on tobacco and liquor or on the import of vehicles should not be discounted, according to DBS economist Irvin Seah.

But experts reckoned that any form of tax increases would be staggered.

Dr Chua expects GST to be raised by 1 percentage point to 8 per cent next year before being increased to 9 per cent in 2020. Describing a GST hike as “regressive”, an offset package should be introduced to “fully offset” the impact on lower-income households, he added.

Echoing similar sentiment, Mr Max Loh, Ernst & Young’s managing partner for Singapore and Asean, is also expecting tax changes to be implemented in “a phased approach” to allow people and businesses enough time to adjust.

Mr Loh added that GST rebates would also be handed out to low-income earners if a GST hike comes to pass as “it goes against the progressive nature of our tax system”.

According to REACH’s pre-Budget feedback exercise, many Singaporeans were in favour of an increase in spending, but felt that the Government should still spend within its means.

There were also concerns about taxation, with a number of Singaporeans urging the Government to consider other methods of generating revenue before considering a tax increase. If tax hikes are unavoidable, more assistance should be given to low- and middle-income families, the press release from REACH showed.
