Govt raises RM150.6b, 72.7pc of 2026 gross borrowing requirements in first eight months

The Malaysian government raised RM150.6 billion, or 72.7% of its annual borrowing needs, by August 2026, according to the Ministry of Finance.

Funding primarily came from Malaysian Government Securities and Malaysian Government Investment Issues, with additional amounts from treasury bills and offshore issuance.

Proceeds were used for principal redemptions, deficit financing, and partially funding upcoming maturities.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 — The government has raised RM150.6 billion, or 72.7 per cent of the annual gross borrowing requirements, in the first eight months of 2026, said the Ministry of Finance (MoF).

The ministry said of this, RM130 billion was raised through Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) and Malaysian Government Investment Issues (MGII) issuances, while RM14.5 billion through issuances of Malaysian Treasury Bills (MTB) and Malaysian Islamic Treasury Bills (MITB) and the balance through the offshore issuance.

“The proceeds were primarily utilised to finance RM71 billion in principal redemptions, with the remaining RM79.6 billion used for deficit financing and partial funding of upcoming maturities,” it said in its Fiscal Outlook and Federal Government Revenue Estimates 2027 released today.

The total gross borrowings for 2026 are projected to record RM207.1 billion, or 9.5 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), from RM181.7 billion or nine per cent of GDP in 2025, driven mainly by higher refinancing needs of RM128.5 billion.

MoF said the federal government’s borrowing continues to serve two main purposes which are financing the fiscal deficit and refinancing maturing debt.

“The issuance strategy will continue to have a well-spread maturity profile while optimising cost of funding,” it added. — Bernama

据马来西亚财政部称，截至 2026 年 8 月，马来西亚政府已筹集 1506 亿令吉，占其年度借款需求的 72.7%。

资金主要来自马来西亚政府债券和马来西亚政府投资债券，另有部分资金来自国库券和境外发行。

所得款项用于偿还本金、弥补资金缺口以及部分偿还即将到期的债务。

吉隆坡，10 月 9 日——财政部表示，政府在 2026 年前八个月筹集了 1506 亿令吉，占年度总借款需求的 72.7%。

该部表示，其中1300亿令吉是通过发行马来西亚政府债券（MGS）和马来西亚政府投资债券（MGII）筹集的，145亿令吉是通过发行马来西亚国库券（MTB）和马来西亚伊斯兰国库券（MITB）筹集的，其余部分是通过境外发行筹集的。

该公司在今天发布的《2027 年财政展望和联邦政府收入预测》中表示：“所得款项主要用于偿还 710 亿令吉的本金，剩余的 796 亿令吉用于弥补财政赤字和部分偿还即将到期的债务。”

预计 2026 年总借款额将达到 2071 亿令吉，占国内生产总值 (GDP) 的 9.5%，而 2025 年为 1817 亿令吉，占 GDP 的 9%，主要原因是再融资需求增加 1285 亿令吉。

“发行策略将继续保持均衡的到期期限，同时优化融资成本，”声明补充道。——马新社
