Sarawak’s 2027 Budget, tabled on 12 October 2026, plans record revenue of RM15.091 billion and a RM246 million surplus. It sets development spending at RM10.098 billion to improve infrastructure, human capital and new industries while shielding households from cost pressures.

Future success demands institutional efficiency, integrated community development, and predictive resource allocation to achieve enduring, inclusive prosperity through agile, data-driven reforms.

Sarawak's unprecedented expansionary budget for 2025, designed to stimulate economic growth within the region. The budget, totalling RM15.8 billion, prioritizes development expenditure, particularly in infrastructure projects, to enhance connectivity and improve public services.
