PM to table Budget 2025 on Oct 18 - Fahmi

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will be tabling the Budget 2025 on October 18, said government spokesperson Fahmi Fadzil.

Speaking in a press conference today, Fahmi said the premier has instructed all ministers to conduct dialogue sessions with relevant stakeholders ahead of the budget planning.

This, Fahmi explained, was conveyed by the prime minister during the cabinet meeting earlier today.

“It is important for us to get feedback from industries regarding policies, incentives, programme implementation, and challenges that they face,” he said during a post-cabinet press conference held at the Communications Ministry in Putrajaya today.

“Parliament sitting will commence on Oct 14 and the budget will be tabled on Oct 18. That is the date for now.”

Fahmi, who is also communications minister, said that the 2025 budget will be the third for Anwar since he took office in 2022.

On Tuesday (July 9), Anwar was reported as saying that the 2025 budget must remain focused on achieving the goals set out in the Madani Economy framework.

During his opening remarks at a budget engagement session, he was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times that these included efforts to “raise the ceiling” and “raise the floor”.
