We ensured inclusive growth by addressing poverty, while providing a social safety net to protect vulnerable groups.

Almost two years into the pandemic, we realise that we need to balance between keeping our people safe while protecting their livelihoods.

This includes speeding up vaccination rates, which stand at more than 500,000 doses daily in recent weeks. It also includes reopening key economic sectors to revive the economy. We are pleased that these efforts as well as our pursuit in attaining the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development were commended during our Voluntary National Review in July this year. Climate Action
