KUALA LUMPUR, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Economists are positive on Malaysia's Budget 2026, which focuses on sustaining growth and consolidating the country's fiscal position.
With most of the planned structural reforms, such as the gradual rationalization of subsidies on electricity, eggs, diesel and RON95, as well as the expansion of sales and service tax and e-invoicing, already implemented or currently underway, Hong Leong Investment Bank said in a note on Monday that the Budget 2026 represents a year of calibration, focusing on effective policy execution and continued gradual fiscal consolidation to ensure sustained economic growth.
