KUALA LUMPUR: BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions, has retained its forecast that Malaysia’s federal government budget deficit will narrow to 3.8 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2025, down from 4.1 per cent in 2024.
In a research note today, BMI said that it remained comfortable with its projection, given the current administration’s track record of sticking closely to its fiscal targets and its alignment with the Malaysian government’s own projection.
