Malaysia’s Fiscal Moves, Ringgit Appreciation, And OPR Outlook

Will the Ringgit continue to strengthen against the US Dollar? Could we see the GST comeback? How could fuel subsidy rationalisation factors into Budget 2025?

In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we speak with Caroline Wong, Country Risk Analyst at BMI (part of Fitch Solutions), to discuss the key aspects of Malaysia's fiscal strategy as we head into Budget 2025.

We dive into the government's fiscal consolidation plans, the outlook for the Ringgit, and what to expect from Bank Negara Malaysia in terms of interest rate policies.

Tune in to explore how these factors will shape the business landscape in the coming year.
