About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Malaysia's Budget 2026, focusing on fiscal discipline and its impact on long-term growth.
At RM419.2 billion, Budget 2026 is smaller than last year’s, marking the first contraction since Budget 2020. The government says the leaner budget reflects a focus on fiscal discipline and targeted spending. But beyond the headline figures, do the measures go far enough to strengthen Malaysia’s long-term resilience and growth? We unpack the details — from taxation to tourism — with our experts.
