Navigating Malaysia’s Deficit Targets

As the tabling of Budget 2025 approaches on October 18, we take a closer look at Malaysia’s progress toward meeting its fiscal deficit targets. The government has set a target of 4.3 percent of GDP for this year, with a goal of between 3.5 and 3.8 percent for 2025. Firdaos Rosli, Chief Economist at AmBank Group, joins us to share his insights on this matter.
