Kuala Lumpur, 10 October 2025 – Khazanah welcomes and fully supports the Malaysia MADANI Budget 2026 tabled by YAB Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, themed “Belanjawan MADANI Keempat: Belanjawan Rakyat.”
This Budget reflects a commitment to national rejuvenation, institutional reform, and inclusive economic growth – values deeply aligned with Khazanah’s mandate in Advancing Malaysia. Guided by fiscal discipline, stronger governance, and targeted investments in high-value sectors, the Government is laying a firm foundation for a more competitive, resilient, and inclusive economy. Khazanah will continue working with the Government and our partners under Ekonomi Madani and the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan to translate these priorities into long-term value for the nation.
Through Dana Impak and Jelawang Capital, we are investing to expand opportunities, build capabilities, and nurture Malaysia’s innovation ecosystem. The Khazanah Mid-Tier Companies Programme will provide up to RM250 million in financing to help mid-sized firms build scale and move up the value chain.
Khazanah continues to support the Government’s strategic investment agenda in priority areas such as semiconductors, energy transition and rare earths. In semiconductors, we continue to foster collaboration between local firms and multinational partners. Together with other GLICs, these efforts reflect a collective push to strengthen domestic investments under GEAR-uP. Complementing this, the K-Youth programme is investing RM200 million to provide work-based training for 11,000 Malaysians in high value sectors, equipping talent for the industries of tomorrow.
Khazanah also supports initiatives to strengthen Malaysia’s international linkages. The empowerment of Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) will boost air connectivity and attract investment, further strengthening the nation’s aviation and tourism sectors ahead of Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
Additionally, we welcome ongoing initiatives under Warisan KL, which will continue to revitalise the capital’s heritage and reimagine its role as a cultural and economic hub. Khazanah is investing RM600 million in the conservation of Carcosa and Seri Negara, as well as six building blocks within the Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad Complex in Kuala Lumpur – living heritage sites that connect Malaysia’s past with its creative and forward-looking future.
Budget 2026 reflects a collective effort and commitment to fortify Malaysia’s foundations, laying the groundwork for a resilient, inclusive and future-ready nation. Khazanah remains steadfast in our commitment to collaborate with the government and our partners to translate national priorities into real progress for Malaysians.
