ON Friday, Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz will be tabling Budget 2022 in the Dewan Rakyat. This comes at a time when the country’s economy is recovering following the reopening of most economic sectors after a prolonged slump brought about by movement restrictions triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
This is why I believe there are heightened public expectations that Budget 2022 will further expedite economic recovery. Any economics student would know that pump priming the economy is a sure-fire way to rev it up after a prolonged period of slump.
