1 Dr. Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid Chief Economist Budget 2017 optimism amidst uncertainty It is still an expansionary budget The government has unveiled Budget 2017 yesterday. Fiscal deficits are expected to widen to RM40.3 billion in 2017 from an estimated RM38.7 billion in This was due to the expected rise in Operating Expenditure (OE) by 3.7% to RM214.8 billion. Grants and transfers to state government (3.8% of OE), retirement charges (10.1% of OE), debt service charges (13.4% of OE) and supplies & services (14.9% of OE) are the key OE items which are likely to register higher growth in 2017 (see Table 3). Similarly, Development Expenditure (DE) is envisaged to increase by 2.2% to RM46 billion in Transport (23% of DE) and education & training (12.8% of DE) are both expected to record 25.9% (2016: 25.8%) and 52.4% (2016: -18.6%) growth next year (see Table 4). Likewise, total revenue is anticipated to grow by 3.4% to RM219.7 billion led by tax revenue collection which accounted for 82.2% of total government revenue. Despite higher deficits in absolute terms, the deficits level appears narrowing to 3.0% of GDP in 2017 from 3.1% in 2016 owing to higher growth in nominal GDP of 7.4%. As such, we view the budget as expansionary.

For instance, total collection for GST was at RM27 billion between April and December This is higher compared to full year SST collection of RM17 billion in As of October 19, the GST collection has reach nearly RM30 billion (1H2016: 17.2 billion). Therefore, tax efficiency is greatly enhanced under the GST regime. We believe that the normalisation in consumer spending growth should help GST collection as the tax is predominantly dependant on consumption. The complete removal of fuel subsidy at the end of 2014 also helps to reduce expenditure on subsidies (see Chart 2). This is given the fact that fuel subsidy typically accounted for more than 50% of total subsidy. While fiscal consolidation is progressing well, the government should also look at other parts of OE which can be reduced or perhaps, attempt to improve their productive capacity. For instance, the government should look at how productivity among the civil servants can be further enhanced especially the support staff since emoluments accounted for more than one third of OE. In addition, the government also needs to think their strategy on addressing the retirement plan of its employees given that retirement charges continue to rise in tandem with the number of civil servants (see Chart 3).

Domestic spending is anticipated to rise 4.9% in 2017 led by gains in consumer spending amidst sustain growth in private investment. Meanwhile, net exports are expected to grow 1.9% after contracting for two consecutive years. Other macro variables, current account balance is envisaged to maintain a surplus balance at around 1.1% of GDP in 2017 from an estimated 1.3% in 2016 while unemployment rate is anticipated to improve to 3.2% from the current level of around 3.4%. Similarly, inflation rate is expected to range between 2% and 3% in Judging from the projection numbers, the government appears to be putting strong emphasis on the revival of the external sector particularly on the commodities space such as CPO and Crude Oil. We also noticed that nominal GDP is anticipated to grow by 7.4% in 2017 which is higher compared to an average of 7.1% between 2011 and Budget 2017 also indicated that CITA rates will be cut by several percentage points for Year Assessment (YA) 2017 and 2018 which contingent upon the company s earnings growth. This would imply the government is somewhat bullish about the state of Malaysian economy in Our concern is that the government may need to recalibrate the budget should forecast assumption does not pan out as plan.

A total of 7 million recipients will benefit from 2017 BR1M as compared to 7.4 million previously. This will certainly help to promote consumer spending as lower income group tend to spend more for every additional increase in their income. This is premised on BNM study on household for each income group whereby those who earn below RM1,000 per month will have Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) of This would mean for every RM1 increase in income it will translate in 0.81 cents of spending (see Chart 4). While BR1M can increase spending, the fear is that it may compromise productivity and the resultant of moral hazard which can be harmful to the economy in the long term. Indeed there is no quick solution to this issue especially when consumer sentiments remain weak. In this regard, promoting BR1M recipient to generate additional income via ride-sharing is a step in a right direction. By using BR1M and rebate of RM4,000 to own Proton Iriz (those who does not own a vehicle) to come up with the down payment is an effective use of such cash transfers as this will allow the low income group to have supplement income.

Telecommunication Measures to promote ICT as catalyst for productivity gains as well as to enhance the learning process among the students and to the society at large are articulated in the Budget As it is, penetration rate for broadband has improved significantly from merely 8% in 2006 to 78.7% in The measures are as follows: Lifestyle tax relief of RM2,500 per year includes purchases of smart phones and tablets, printed newspaper, internet subscription and gymnasium membership fees. Computer loan facility for the civil servants to include the purchase of smart phones. The facility can be used once for every three years. Effective January 2017, fixed line service providers will offer services at a higher speed for the same price. Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will provide RM1 billion to ensure the coverage and quality of broadband nationwide reaches up to 20 megabytes per second Chart 5: Broadband penetration rate (%) Source: CEIC 3.

Allocating RM30 million to coordinate tahfiz education through National Tahfiz Education Policy. 4. Islamic finance Income tax exemption to entities carrying out Islamic banking and Takaful business through the International Currency Business Unit (ICBU) in foreign currencies as well as stamp duty exemption on instruments of such activities will be extended to the year of assessment Our view In a nutshell, striking the right balance between achieving sustainable growth as well as keeping government finances well in check are the key themes for Budget Meanwhile, global economy remains highly uncertain although positive signs coming out from the US and, to some extent EU, could provide significant impetus to overall growth. Therefore, risks of budget recalibration should not be totally discarded in the event baseline scenario suddenly take a different turn. Again, communication with the stakeholders is paramount to ensure that timely and relevant information are disseminated steadfastly to avoid misunderstanding. For instance, issues on self-imposed debt limit of 55% of GDP are frequently discussed in the public forum. However, there is not enough emphasis on the debt instrument which is used to compute the limit. For Internal Circulation Page 10
11 In actual fact, there are several legislations that empowers Federal Government to borrow or to raise funds. A case in point would be Loan (Local) Act 1959 [Act 637] and Government Funding Act 1983 [Act 275] which set the debt ceiling at 55% of GDP. The debt instruments is confined to the outstanding of Malaysian Government Securities (MGS), Government Investment Issue (GII) and Malaysian Islamic Treasury Bills (MITB). The recent statistics showed that ratio of the three debt instruments to GDP is about 48% as of September. Therefore, the debt ratio is well below than the self-imposed limit. That aside, fiscal reforms should focus on other than subsidies and the government should look at other OE components such as emoluments, retirement charges and supplies & services to ensure that the tax payers money are well spent and GDP accretive at the same time. Persistent reduction in subsidies within short period of time could tantamount to negative shocks. This could undermine growth given the nascent recovery in consumer sentiments. Lastly, the government needs to seriously consider Waqf as the potential economic policy instrument. Already we have seen some of the Budget 2017 measures like using government land to build affordable houses does resonate the principle of Waqf. In fact, it was stated in 11MP document that National Housing Department (NHD) will collaborate with the respective state Islamic religious councils to identify suitable waqf land that can be used to develop affordable houses using the concept of Waqf. With proper plan and execution, perhaps the government could achieve a balanced budget by At the current rate, achieving a balanced budget in the next four years can be an uphill task in our view.
