A higher budget is expected for Malaysia, but the government anticipates a decline in the fiscal deficit. The deficit is projected to decrease to 3.3 per cent in 2027.

This decline is part of a progression toward a target of 3 per cent by 2028. Further details about the budget and its implications are available.

The government's expectations for the fiscal deficit suggest a planned reduction in the coming years, with specific targets set for 2027 and 2028.
