Tengku Zafrul says the goal is to bring the fiscal deficit back to under 4% of the GDP in the next three years or so.

Malaysia's fiscal deficit will nearly double to around 6% of the annual economic output this year because of the government's recent efforts to revive the economy, the finance minister told Reuters, adding it could seek to raise the debt ceiling to finance the stimulus.

Southeast Asia's third-biggest economy has announced incentives worth RM295 billion to soften the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, with the government vowing to directly inject RM45 billion of that into the economy, mostly raised through domestic borrowings.

Lah asal double deficit ni. Muhyidin tak pernah lak kata Malaysia takde duit hmmm

Percaya ke mkini nyamuk2 Dapigs ni

Kalau belanja duit hasil kerja orang lain bukan main senang kan?

Byk belanja..Tp jika belanja utk rakyat apa salahnya? Utk siapa lg? Jika jimat, tp rakyat makin terhimpit.. Utk siapakah semua itu?

Makcik2 Kg: Tu PN bleh je bg duit. Apo LGE ckp dlu keraja'e xde duit? Menipu je PH ni. Ckp byk duit kena byr hutang la. Kedekut ruponya LGE ni. Yg diorang x faham, deficit means govt belanja lbih dr apa yg govt mampu. Meaning tmbh hutang. Meaning xde duit sebenarnya.

Bukan hari tu kata DAP tipu pasal hutang?

Double deficit? Depa kata PH lemah sebab asyik kata negara tak dak duit. Bila tang PN ok ja bagi macam2, macam negara kaya je. Camne leh double deficit?

Nak jawatan GLC lah... ni

sikit hari lagi dia sebut lah 'ini salah NajibRazak ' lepas tu letak jawatan 😂, dulu ada yg ckp tp x percaya , skrg kau tanggung lah sendiri, kalau xde idea nnt boleh tanya macai2 kt fb/tweeter 🖕😂🖕

Eh.. Mana duit? Kata ada banyak.. My bpn tak dapat lagi ni

Bg dedak tak hingat, sembang acik kiah saleh smua kaya raya dh last2 50 hinggit tu bg tkkn claim saman time pkp ari tu

Give minimum wage for GLC post since they said its for Rakyat N no need to many baboons in the cabinet Even my house cabinet dust weigh more worth

Hari itu question dan ejek Tun M dan Lim Guan Eng, finance negara stabil kenapa nak pinjam duit drpd Jepun? Rupanya jawapan terkini drpd Finance Minister membukti PH amanah dan jujur.

Kata keadaan kewangan kukuh..sibuk tanya LGE kena dulu buat pinjaman..baru2 nie pulak kata 3billion hutang 1MDB Harus ditanggung..sekarang pulak deficit..come on..Menteri Kewayangan Malaysia

Gaji mentari kena potong ni

Tolak pakatan Hancing.

double deficit = defisit berganda Tau tak makna defisit? : Kekurangan hasil pendapatan berbanding dgn perbelanjaan yg diperlukan Ingat duit ini datang dari langit ke? Anak mudalah yng kena bayar hutang ini.

ana puas hati... asalkan isley memimpin

you can start by cutting A LOT of dead weight

So betul lah bila Tun M & LGE kata Malaysia takde duit....

Since we going for a double deficit, why don't tzafrul_aziz just remit to us the RM 50 MuhyiddinYassin promised directly into our e-wallet apps. Ask NajibRazak why cash is king? Provide to Rakyat like how guanenglim did. For Malaysian, cashback & vouchers are retailers' scam

Tada uang ka? Boleh la bikin tabung boleh la menderma!😄

tu la. pelik macam mana gov boleh dapatkan duit untuk fund stimulus pakej dan covid19 program. tapi diam je la, kita bukan ahlinya.

Boleh pulak pinjam meminjam gitu... 😊

AriffQushairi muka finance minister ni macam kau rip. Kau mesti tak setuju kan? 😂

Aik, aritu sebuk kata ‘lin guan eng kata takda duit’ Rupa2nya memang betul apa LGE kata eh hahahaha

Itu guna ada parlimen

Ok la tu... Have to be fair, Bukan kerajaan diundi, tapi kerajaan yang kita perlukan... Just do your best for the country...

Ari tu kata duit banyak kah kah kah..macibai

Headline kena la gempak, baru la ramai yang subscribe

Pinjam ad perangcangan yg rapi bagus la...jgn pinjam xtau pegi mna duit tu...sedar² xda n tak tahu...ermmm, hope manafaat utk rakyat & boleh dibayar balik dgn baek dohhh.....

If PH did it....

Suka hati kau la, nak double deficit pun.. bukan kau YG bayar.. rakyat YG akan tanggung..

This wouldn't have happened had Mahathir firmed his decision to hand over power to DSAI. If anyone is to blame it is Mahathir.

Nak pinjam ratus2 juta tu tak perlu dapat persetujuan parlimen ke?

burningredberry Thank you for the heads up, With love, the young

hambik kau...

Mana pegi orang2 yg marahkan PH ambik bon Jepun dulu? Ni Umno/BN/PAS nak tambah hutang dan tambah beban rakyat lagi ni!

Haha.. Page dap.. Meroyan xeh jaid kerajaan.😆

Jadi macam jepun ke?
