Anwar tables Budget 2027 today, promising resilience, reforms and relief for Malaysians

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will present Malaysia's Budget 2027, emphasizing high-value growth, equitable wealth distribution, and economic resilience.

As part of the second phase under the 13th Malaysia Plan, it aligns with the Madani Economy pillars, focusing on structural reforms, regional disparities, cost of living, and social safety nets.

The budget addresses key areas like education, healthcare, technology, and high-value investments.

It will be discussed in Parliament, with policy debates and committee considerations scheduled before its passage.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also Finance Minister, is scheduled to table Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat at 3.30pm today.

The tabling will be the fifth budget under his Madani Government, anchored by a clear commitment to ensure high value growth is translated equitably for the people’s wellbeing while strengthening the country’s economic resilience.

The Budget 2027 tabling will be broadcast live on various local television stations and social media platforms, including Bernama TV, which will also air its Budget 2027 Analysis programme at 8.30pm tonight.

According to the pre-budget statement on the Finance Ministry’s website, Budget 2027 is formulated to build on the strong foundation established through previous budgets.

As the second budget under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), it will continue to pursue the three Madani Economy pillars, namely raising the growth ceiling, raising the living standards floor and driving reforms in public administration governance.

The Finance Ministry said Malaysia’s economy remained resilient following bold structural reforms, including fiscal consolidation and targeted subsidy rationalisation, despite global geopolitical uncertainties and disruptions to international supply chains.

For Budget 2027, the ministry outlined 10 key focuses, including narrowing regional disparities, addressing the cost of living through targeted assistance such as the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) and Budi Madani, strengthening the social safety net for gig workers and preparing for the country’s ageing population by 2030.

Attention will also be given to basic services such as education and healthcare, technology driven public sector transformation through Government Technology (GovTech), workers’ welfare through a dignified wage, empowering local entrepreneurs through the ‘Made by Malaysia’ initiative, and high value investments such as semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI).

In a post on X yesterday, Anwar expressed hope that Budget 2027 would further strengthen the country’s economic resilience, ease the cost-of-living burden, create more opportunities and ensure the benefits of development are enjoyed more equitably by all segments of society.

According to the calendar on the official Parliament portal, the Supply (Budget) Bill 2027 will be debated at the policy stage for eight days starting next week.

The winding up by the relevant ministries is scheduled from Oct 26 to 29, followed by the committee stage debate from Nov 2 to 26 before the Bill is passed in the Dewan Rakyat. — Bernama

作为马来西亚第十三个计划第二阶段的一部分，它与马达尼经济支柱相一致，重点关注结构改革、区域差异、生活成本和社会安全网。

该预算案涵盖教育、医疗保健、科技和高价值投资等关键领域。

该法案将在议会进行讨论，在通过之前，将安排政策辩论和委员会审议。

吉隆坡，10 月 9 日 — 兼任财政部长的首相拿督斯里安瓦尔易卜拉欣定于今天下午 3 点 30 分在下议院提交 2027 年预算案。

这将是马达尼政府提出的第五份预算案，其核心承诺是确保高价值增长能够公平地转化为人民福祉，同时增强国家的经济韧性。

财政部表示，尽管全球地缘政治局势不明朗，国际供应链中断，但马来西亚经济在采取大胆的结构性改革（包括财政整顿和有针对性的补贴合理化）后，依然保持韧性。

2027 年预算案中，该部概述了 10 个重点，包括缩小区域差距、通过有针对性的援助（如 Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) 和 Budi Madani）解决生活成本问题、加强零工劳动者的社会保障网以及为该国到 2030 年的老龄化人口做好准备。

此外，还将关注教育和医疗保健等基本服务、通过政府科技（GovTech）推动公共部门技术转型、通过体面工资保障工人福利、通过“马来西亚制造”计划赋能本地企业家，以及半导体和人工智能（AI）等高价值投资。

安华昨天在X上发帖表示，希望2027年财政预算案能够进一步增强国家的经济韧性，减轻生活成本负担，创造更多机会，并确保社会各阶层更公平地享受发展带来的利益。

根据议会官方门户网站上的日程安排，2027 年供应（预算）法案将于下周开始在政策阶段进行为期八天的辩论。
