CGS International Research's Ahmad Nazmi said it is still premature to say if the government will miss or meet its fiscal deficit targets for this year.
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia appears to be on track to achieve its fiscal deficit target of 3.8% this year, in spite of the various external challenges that are on the horizon.
Economists surveyed by StarBiz were in agreement and point to various measures that have been embarked on by the government on both the revenue and expenditure side that would help the country to stay on track in its fiscal goals in the bigger picture.
