KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is set to present the Budget 2026 to the Dewan Rakyat at 4 pm today.
This is the fourth budget of the Madani administration and will serve as the financial blueprint for the first year of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), detailing the country’s development trajectory for the next five years.
The Budget 2026 tabling will be broadcast live on local TV and social media, with Bernama TV featuring a Pre-Presentation Analysis Special Programme at 3 pm.
According to the Finance Ministry’s pre-Budget statement, Budget 2026 will build on the previous Madani budgets.

Amid global competition and uncertainty, Budget 2026 aims to safeguard Malaysia’s economic resilience.
The plan focuses on advancing the nation’s long-term economic agenda while ensuring the people’s well-being is addressed through targeted, result-oriented aid, according to the pre-Budget statement.
