BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Budget 2014 to be tabled in Parliament by the Prime Minister on Oct 25 will focus on strengthening the domestic economy and cushioning it from any ill-effects triggered by global economic uncertainties and the continued partial government shutdown in the United States.

Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is also Finance Minister I, said the core foundation of the Budget will be to ensure the domestic economy remained resilient and that the country could register reasonable growth despite the expected global slowdown.
