Budget 2026 to incorporate key 13MP elements - Amir Hamzah

KUALA LUMPUR - Budget 2026 will incorporate key elements of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), which sets out the country’s priorities, Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said.

The budget, to be tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Oct 10, will be the first under 13MP and will align with both the plan and the Ekonomi Madani framework, he said.

"We must carry out reforms to strengthen housing, education and health. There are many other agendas we are pursuing, and Budget 2026 will incorporate these elements to drive Malaysia’s development,” he told reporters after launching the Public Finance and Economy Week (MEKA) 2025 here, today.
