ALL ministers will be assigned daily to announce follow-up policies and programmes to the Madani Economy framework, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.

He said this is because the economic framework will serve as a foundation for several other policies scheduled to be announced in a few months.

“The Economy Minister (Rafizi Ramli) previously announced the National Energy Transition Roadmap. In the next few weeks, (government) will announce the Industrial Master Plan.

“Following that, the mid-term review of the 12th Malaysia Plan and the (announcement) on the second Madani budget in October,” he said in his keynote speech during the National Tax Conference 2023 in Kuala Lumpur today.

Also present were Inland Revenue Board chief executive officer Dr Mohd Nizom Sairi and Chartered Tax Institute of Malaysia president Chow Chee Yen.

The “Madani Economy: Empowering the People” initiative launched by Anwar on July 27, aimed at boosting the Malaysian economy, will have revenue spillover to the people to enable them to enjoy a better quality of life.

Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the economic framework is a comprehensive plan for Malaysia to address various challenges and issues related to competitiveness and investment attractions, as well as outlining actions to address current issues that affect people’s lives.

The framework set seven key performance indicators as medium-term targets to be achieved within 10 years. – Bernama, August 1, 2023.
