Cost of living indicator to enhance targeted subsidy


KUALA LUMPUR: The government is set to introduce a Cost of Living Indicator (IKSH) to design more targeted subsidy programmes aligned with the specific needs and spending habits of Malaysians, says Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali.

He said the initiative is part of ongoing subsidy reforms to ensure aid reaches those most in need. The IKSH will help refine both existing programmes and future initiatives for better planning and execution.
