Kuala lumpur: The Federal Government's statutory debt stood at 61.9 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) as of end-March 2026, still below the statutory limit of 65 per cent, according to the Finance Ministry (MoF). The ministry stated the government continues to maintain fiscal discipline and comply with all statutory debt limits set.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the ministry said the government has never failed to meet its interest payment obligations or repay matured debt. This reflects the country's debt position that remains manageable, supported by a deep domestic financial market, a stable debt profile, and disciplined fiscal management. The MoF shared this information in a written reply to the Dewan Rakyat, published on the Parliament website today.

The ministry reported that as of the end of March 2026, the Federal Government's total debt stood at 63.1 per cent of GDP compared with 65.2 per cent in 2025. Offshore borrowings amounted to RM20.8 billion, well below the RM35 billion ceiling, while Malaysian Treasury Bills totalled RM4.5 billion, remaining below the statutory limit of RM10 billion, the ministry added.
