2008
POST-BUDGET PANEL DISCUSSION
As in previous years, in September, the Minister of Finance
will have the Nation’s undivided attention. He will present the Budget
on 7 September, 2007. His Budget is expected to address the issues of sustaining
rapid economic recovery and growth, maintaining price, exchange rate and
fiscal stability as well as continuing with the restructuring of the financial
and corporate sectors.
In the run-up to the Budget, many ideas have been proferred on these
issues. As the Year 2008 Budget takes up these issues, the
approach, strategy and
rationale will need careful examination. This, the Post-Budget Panel
Discussion will provide, being, as it is, the occasion on which the Secretary-General
to the Treasury will clarify and explain the Budget proposals. The discussion
will be tightly focused on key issues, raised by a panel of notable experts
in their respective fields. This year, the Discussion Panel will be headed
by YBhg. Dato' Dr. Wan Abdul Aziz bin Wan Abdullah, Secretary-General
of Treasury. The Panel Members are: Professor Dr. Norma Mansor, Dean, Faculty
of Economics and Administration; Professor Dr. Mahani Zainal Abidin,
Director-General, Institute of Strategic
and International
Studies
(ISIS) Malaysia; and Tan Sri Datuk Yong Poh Kon, President, Federation of
Malaysian Manufacturers.
The Persatuan’s Post-Budget Panel Discussion has proved to be the
most direct route to a clear understanding of the Government’s economic
principles, its ranking of priorities and its expectations for the year to
come.
