The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has launched the Budget 2012 website with a feedback exercise encouraging suggestions on issues regarding taxes and public spending for next year’s budget.
The MOF exercise, in partnership with Reach, welcomes comments through new media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as discussion forums on Reach’s budget microsite. From 6 to 7 December, a Reach roving exhibition will also gather public views at the National Library Building, Victoria Street.
The MOF will also hold an online Budget Quiz every Wednesday, beginning 4 January 2012 on the Budget 2012 website. Each week, participants will be given the chance to win prizes if they can correctly answer all the questions.
The Budget Challenge 2012 will be open to polytechnic, junior college and university students, and those in the last two years of their integrated programmes at Millennia Institute. The top three teams will receive attractive prizes.
