Stronger economic growth and rising
oil prices mean higher tax revenue, which Najib is expected to use to boost
cash handouts and wages for government workers next year, helping to shore up
his support with voters without compromising fiscal targets. Investors are
watching for clues on the timing of the election, which must be held by August
next year.
Najib said on Thursday the 2018
budget deficit will be slightly lower than this year's 3 percent of gross
domestic product. Analysts expect him to strike a populist tone, tackling
issues such as the rising cost of living and homes for Malaysians.
The budget will probably "be
expansionary, meaning I think the government will increase the expenditure and
I think it will be pro-growth," said Julia Goh, an economist at United Overseas
Bank Ltd. in Kuala Lumpur. "They will balance the populist measures against long-term
targets such as ensuring sustainable growth and reducing the fiscal deficit."
