NTP-ETP annual report: Fiscal deficit halved, thanks to Govt's grit, says Najib


PETALING JAYA: The Federal Government more than halved its fiscal deficit as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) in the last seven years, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (pic).

He said this was in large part thanks to the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2015.
