Government fiscal deficit policy to boost ringgit, equity market


KUALA LUMPUR: The Goverment's commitment to continue reducing the fiscal deficit further to 4% of gross domestic product (GDP) next year from 4.5% currently will reaffirm the country's sovereign rating and boosting the appreciation of the ringgit and local equity market.

Kenanga Research, in a note yesterday, said it believed that there was no widespread impact on the entire equity market as there was no announcement on corporate tax cut.
