Budget 2027 expected to offer mild support to Malaysian equities
What happened
CIMB Securities noted that Budget 2027 could provide a mildly positive outlook for Malaysian equities. Targeted measures aimed at supporting household consumption and corporate margins are expected to outweigh the effects of continued fiscal consolidation. The research house estimates the underlying fiscal support could add around 0.1 percentage point to real gross domestic product growth.

Why it matters
The potential equity benefits are viewed as sector- and stock-specific, particularly for construction, infrastructure, mass-market consumption, and utilities. Measures such as increasing the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah/Sumbangan Asas Rahmah allocation and potential minimum wage hikes could support household disposable income and consumption.
Budget 2027 will be tabled in the Malaysian Parliament, following a government minister tabling a related bill.
