KUALA LUMPUR: A total of RM611 billion is required to ensure the success of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar said that of this amount, RM430 billion will come from the government’s development allocation.
“Financing from government-linked companies (GLCs) and government-linked investment companies (GLICs) amounts to RM120 billion.
“Support from the private sector, through public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives, will contribute RM61 billion.
“Out of the RM430 billion allocation, more than half, amounting to RM227 billion, will be channelled to the economic sector, which serves as the main pillar of the nation’s growth,” he said when tabling the 13MP in the Dewan Rakyat.
The five-year 13MP covers the period from 2026 to 2030, and provides a strategic framework for Malaysia’s economic, social and environmental priorities.
The plan comes as the nation navigates a more complex global environment and domestic reform agenda.
The 13MP will also serve as a key policy platform for the unity government, which has anchored much of its governance on the principles of the Madani Economy.
Previously, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the 13MP reflected the government’s commitment to building a more inclusive and sustainable economic foundation over the next five years.
