Flow of building jobs maintained


PETALING JAYA: While there is no mega announcement to herald a major expansion to the construction sector, analysts believe that Budget 2026 will bring about meaningful continuity to the industry which supports steady earnings visibility, although it does not mark a new boom.

The Madani government has allocated a total of RM81bil for development expenditure (DE) under the latest budget, with Sabah and Sarawak notably receiving RM6.9bil and RM6bil, respectively, in addition to a special grant rate which has been doubled to RM600mil.
