Budget 2025: What Malaysia’s SMEs and Mid-Tiers Really Need

As Malaysia tables the Budget 2025 today, we turn our focus to Malaysia’s Mid-tier companies (MTCs) and SMEs, the backbone of the nation’s economy. These businesses drive innovation, create jobs, and enhance Malaysia's global competitiveness, yet they continue to face significant challenges, from limited access to financing to the need for digital transformation and skilled talent.

We speak with Callum Chen, Honorary President of the Malaysian Consortium of Mid-Tier Companies, as we reflect on the outcomes of Budget 2024 — what worked, what didn’t, and where gaps remain. We also dive into what these businesses are hoping to see in Budget 2025, and the key policies and initiatives that could unlock new opportunities for them, strengthening their position in the global market.
