Call for clarity on big projects in Budget 2023


“Our immediate focus would be the status of the RM3.3bil allocated for the MRT3 Circle Line (RM32bil total value). We expect more clarity during the re-tabling of the budget, likely in the first quarter of next year, says CGS-CIMB Research.

PETALING JAYA: Analysts are hoping for more clarity on the status of large infrastructure projects under the proposed Budget 2023, after the government suspended funds for flood mitigation projects pending a review.

According to CGS-CIMB Research, the suspension and review of the RM7bil flood mitigation projects may cause a dent in the construction sector as other projects like the Mass Rapid Transit 3 (MRT 3) Circle Line may suffer the same fate.
