      Malaysia debt to gdp is not that high at 61% and this is expected to reduce in coming years as deficit will be cut to just 3%. Problem is too much money spend on the high number of govt servant salaries/pension.

    ❤❤You are perfectly correct. Malaysia's debt is 97.5% denominated in Ringgit and only a tiny 2.5% in foreign currencies. And since Malaysia is the only entity that can legally print (creating money out of thin air) the Ringgit, there is no problem. If you owe money which you can create out of thin air, what's the problem?
    But this must be done surreptitiously otherwise foreign countries will devalue the ringgit. That's why 'E'CON'omy is 'E'ssentially a CON game and really good economists like those in the USA are ethical people who use the tools of the conmen for the good of the people.😂😂

Malaysia's economic growth in the second quarter was also lower than growth in the first quarter of 2023 which reached 5.6%.
    Malaysia's External Debt: % of GDP was reported at 63.9 % in 2022. This records a decrease from the previous number of 69.7 % for 2021.

      When asked by council members whether they would impose additional excise duties on the people to deal with the increase in state debt in a hearing session at the Dewan Rakyat Building which was attended online in Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday, Anwar answered that he would reduce subsidies for the rich, as was done for electricity subsidies.
      As I explained to the Council in the last session, even though there was a previous government decision to increase electricity tariffs, the government has now canceled that proposal and it is still only imposed on the T20 group (income of more than RM10,970 or around Rp. 38.26 million per month), multinational companies and other large companies except companies involved in food safety
      Reductions in other subsidies for the rich are also being implemented with the same emphasis, for example diesel subsidies which in 2022 will reach 20 billion ringgit (around Rp. 69.76 trillion), but in the study of the Chair of the State Audit, half of that volume has been sold through oil stations, he said.
      In terms of economic growth, considering that domestic and foreign investors are starting to come in, Anwar believes that the settlement of state debt will increase without burdening the people.
      A number of steps were taken, including improving governance, because billions of ringgit in lost spending occurred due to poor management and leaks so that the debt became greater than the country's economic growth, he said.

      @@zarith87 Malaysia's Suffering: Ringgit & Exports Collapse, Debts Mount
      The weakening of the Malaysian ringgit currency against the United States (US) dollar amidst unstable global conditions has had an impact on many things, from increasingly expensive imports to ballooning foreign debt. This issue received great attention from former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohamad with a solution to peg the exchange rate.
      Reporting from Refinitiv, the ringgit has weakened against the US dollar by 5.03% year to date/ytd. Meanwhile, the ringgit's weakest point was at MYR4.79/US$ on October 23 2023 and was recorded to have weakened 8.14% ytd.
      The collapse of the ringgit cannot be separated from the strength of the US dollar index (DXY), high world oil prices and the weakening of the Chinese economy. The depreciation of the ringgit is getting worse due to strong US economic growth with still solid employment data as well as the US central bank (The Fed) being quite hawkish some time ago and deciding to hold its benchmark interest rate at a high position for a long time to fight inflation.
      For your information, a cheaper currency means higher import costs. On the other hand, regional exporters are finding it difficult to take advantage of this downturn, as uncertainty remains in large markets, especially China.
      For your information, the ringgit has been hit by Malaysia's greater exposure to the Chinese economy, which is experiencing disappointing growth. For more than 13 years, China has been Malaysia's largest trading partner.
      Bilateral trade between the two countries set a record of US$ 203.6 billion in 2022 or around Rp. 3,162.9 trillion (US$ 1=Rp. 15,535), an increase compared to 2021 which was recorded at US$ 176.8 billion.
      Furthermore, weak commodity prices such as palm oil and natural gas, which account for the majority of Malaysia's exports, are also another negative factor.
      For the record, Malaysia's exports to China for the September period were recorded to have fallen 17.3% to MYR16.6 billion or around IDR 55 trillion (1MYR= IDR 3,350).
      Meanwhile, Malaysia's imports from China for the September period also contracted 9% at MYR21.7 billion. In other words, Malaysia's trade balance with China for the September period experienced a deficit of MYR5.1 billion.
      Malaysia's annual export contraction touched its lowest point, namely a correction of 18.6% in August 2023. Meanwhile in the September period, Malaysian exports were corrected 13.7% (year on year/yoy) to MYR124.5 billion, missing market estimates which predicted a correction 16.5% and compared with an upwardly revised 18.7% contraction in the previous month.
      This marks an export contraction for the seventh consecutive month, along with a decline in sales in all sectors, namely; mining (-28%), especially LNG (-37.8%) and condensate & other petroleum (-26.8%)
      Meanwhile, Malaysian imports also fell 11.1% from the previous year to MYR99.95 billion in September 2023, missing market estimates of a 12.2% decline and slowing sharply from the 21.2% decline in the previous month.
      This marks a contraction for the seventh consecutive month, due to a decrease in purchases of semi-finished goods (-15.6%), which was caused by a decrease in purchases of food & beverages, processing, especially for industry (-59.2%)
      The weakening of Malaysia's exports and imports is also reflected in its trade balance which continues to narrow to MYR24.5 billion (Rp. 82.08 trillion) in September 2023 from MYR31.8 billion (Rp. 106.53 trillion) in the same month the previous year, but greater from a market estimate of MYR22.7 billion.
      Furthermore, in the first nine months of 2023, the country's trade surplus fell to MYR177.3 billion from MYR188 billion in the same period the previous year.
      The depreciation of the ringgit also had an impact on the 10 year tenor Malaysian Government Bonds. The highest yield on these bonds was recorded on October 23 2023 at 4.2% or the highest since the last year. High yields indicate that investors are selling the bonds they bought because yields have an inverse correlation with bond prices.
      The surge in bond yields is increasingly burdensome for the government considering that the higher the yield offered, the government has an obligation to pay quite high yields.
      The Malaysian Statistics Department released debt service charges borne by the Malaysian government which continued to increase for the first two quarters from 2018 to 2023.
      Not only that, domestic debt in the form of treasury bills also crept up for the first two quarters from 2018 to 2023. The increasing number of treasury bills will directly increase the portion of the Malaysian government's total domestic debt.

    Malaysia should focus on a combination of paying down it's debt by passing new sources of revenue or strictly enforcing tax collection while attracting foreign investments without choking the economy. Modern monetary theory is flawed since it has long been known that central banks around the world are mostly privately owned, they are not government owned with the best example being the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. Every unit of currency printed carries interest with it. It's not simply printing a piece of paper. You only need to look at what happened at Weimar in Germany when they printed their way out of debt with disastrous consequences for their people's purchasing power. Also, one shouldn't forget the exchange of the ringgit against all other currencies of countries it trades with.

    first of all I really do not agree with the financial handouts of 100 to 200 ringgit to all the citizens. For me with such of billions of ringgit in allocations, it would be better to establish a manufacturing hub instead. First it can create jobs while let the employed citizens generate consumption instead. Giving handout I would not say it is bad but at least help those who is real needed people such as provide them with food coupons or even support them in basic needs during their hardship times while provide the jobs or necessary skill training to enable them to look for employment.
