INSTEAD of waiting till February to unveil help measures for businesses and workers, the Government will be announcing some within the week.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday the Government will announce 'this week' a loan access scheme for businesses, and a new training programme for workers.

There will be more measures in the annual Budget statement, which is normally in February but will be brought forward to January.
