Malaysia’s Budget will be tabled next Friday on the 7 October. Given that this budget will be out before the next general election, economists are expecting it to be election friendly with a slew of expansionary measures. At the same time, observers are also expecting the government to remain committed to consolidating its fiscal position and focus on its recovery post-pandemic.

On Market View, Prime Time's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions with Julia Goh, Senior Economist, UOB Malaysia.
