Eyeing an expansionary fiscal policy


THE Malaysian government has proposed an expansionary fiscal policy with Budget 2023 having a total allocation of RM373.3bil as compared to RM385.3bil in 2022.

This was done with the aim of balancing the interest of the rakyat with sustaining economic growth under the assumption of a more challenging year ahead, due to weaker global economic prospects amid political tensions and fiscal limitations.
