[theSignalyst]

Addressing rising living costs, Malaysia is planning more public subsidies and social assistance in the 2026 budget. The government aims to balance support with fiscal discipline.

Expect excise duty hikes (alcohol, tobacco), and tweaks to the proposed carbon tax.

Agreed — Malaysia’s approach looks pragmatic. Balancing fiscal tightening with targeted subsidies could ease inflation pressure without slowing growth too much . Curious to see how the carbon tax reforms reshape manufacturing competitiveness
