Guan Eng fears government won't achieve balanced budget
- 6 years ago
The government is expected to table a budget deficit for the next few years, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng told the Dewan Negara today.
"With our financial shortage and constraints as well as the RM1 billion debt, I fear that we are unable to achieve a balanced budget, not only for 2019, but also for the following years," he said.
The previous BN government had targeted a balanced budget by 2020, but later said that it would be delayed for several years due to fiscal challenges.
