Bismillhir Rahmanir Rahim. Saya menyatakan kesyukuran kita kepada Allah S.W.T. kerana dengan izinnya dapat kita membentangkan bajet 2017 dalam Dewan yang mulia ini dan berdoa agar ianya dapat mencapai tujuan seperti yang dihasratkan. As we are entering into an increasingly challenging phase of the development and economic transformation of the State towards a high income economy, it is imperative that we highlight some of the major challenges that we are facing in our continuos effort in developing the state. The Government will continue to focus its effort in structuring and transforming the State economy to achieve a developed State status by 2030. This is of upmost importance as the State is progressively moving into the next level of the development phase. While we are quite pleased with our progress and our achivement, there are so much more that need to be done particularly in transforming the rural areas to catch up with the development in the urban area. In this process of transformation the State Government will not able to do it alone but require all the neccessary effort of the Federal Government especially in providing good facilities, good and public facilities and infrastructure such as schools, clinics, hospitals, roads, bridges, wáter and electricity supplies in rural areas. Such development programs will require huge investment and conserted effort among the State and Federal Government. Tuan Speaker, with challenging and competitive global economy, the resilience of our State economy in the coming years will determine how far you can attain rapid and sustained economic development and growth. Some of the major challenges that we are currently facing are: Slowing world economy especially in the Euro area and the Asian region particularly in China and Japan; Weakening Malaysia Market, Weakening Ringgit Malaysia; Lower commodity prices; and Higher cost of living and the cost of doing business. While acknowledging that challenges ahead are becoming more complex, we must remain focus in our development agenda. We are now operating in a world which is highly dynamic and volatile. In order for us to sustain, to remain competitive, we ought to continuously broaden our economic base, enhance our knowledge, upgrade our skills, be more efficient, productive and innovative. We must include a more pervasive culture of good governance and uphold the highest level of integrity. At the same time, be agile and vigilant in facing external, 3 BELUM DISUNTING 21 NOVEMBER 2016 emerging external challenges arising from global regional competitions, and the increasing volatility in the world economic. We take great pride with the State for being able to achieve its present level of development as a result of our ability to manage our resources effectively and our continuous efforts to promote unity and harmony among our people despite facing many challenges along the way. This reflects the resilience and the strength of our people, our social unity and our political stability. Tuan Speaker, I wish now to introduce to our guests in this august House on the latest economic performance of 2016 and the outlook for 2017. The Global Monetary Fund in its October 2016 World Economic Report estimated that the world economy projected to remain modest at about 3.1 percent in 2016 slightly weaker than their earlier estimates of 3.2 percent in July of 2016. The IMF anticipates global economy to grow by 3.4 percent for 2017, instead influenced by the performance of the United State, Canada, Euro and Japan with the economic political and institutional uncertainties following the Brexit and US election. The growth in advanced economies for 2017 is expected to be 1.8 percent. The emerging market such as India and other developing economies are also expected to support global growth momentum in 2017, despite an expected slowdown in China. Growth in Asean-5 for 2017 is expected to be 5.1 percent. After registering the growth to 5 percent in 2015, the National economy is estimated to slow down between 4.0 percent and 4.5 percent this year affected by the slow global growth, the low prices of oil and commodities, the weakening of the Ringgit, and the reduction or the removal of subsidies on essential items. In the first half of this year, the growth was 4.1 percent supported by investment activities and services and manufacturing sectors. Federal Government is optimistic that the national economic growth can expand by 4.0 percent to 5.0 percent in 2017. The growth is anticipated to be driven by domestic infrastructure expenditures and foreign direct investments.
