Centre for Market Education CEO Carmelo Ferlito.

PETALING JAYA: The possibility of the government missing its 2025 fiscal deficit target cannot be ruled out.

CGS International (CGSI) Research projects the overall 2025 fiscal deficit to be at RM77.5bil or 3.8% of gross domestic product (GDP), an improvement from the estimated RM84bil or 4.3% of GDP this year, although potentially missing the initial target of 3% to 3.5% in 2025.
