KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 (Bernama) -- Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) said Budget 2026 upholds a vision towards a more equitable and future ready Malaysia by elevating the standard of living of the rakyat, driving continued economic reform and inclusive economic growth.
In a statement today, the fund management company said it supports all the initiatives in the budget, especially the continued structural reform through focused subsidy rationalisation, with savings reinvested to drive economic growth through greater investments and elevating the people’s quality of life.
“In particular, PNB is grateful for the continued allocation for the Celik MADANI programme, aimed at enhancing financial literacy and encouraging responsible investment behaviours among young Malaysians, and the increase of Amanah Saham Bumiputera 3 Didik (ASB 3 Didik) and Amanah Saham Malaysia (ASM) unit trust funds’ size by an additional 5 billion units each.
“This will enable all Malaysians to take meaningful steps toward securing their financial future and unlocking greater potential for long-term wealth creation,” it said.
PNB said the fund size increase strengthens the company’s commitment to financial inclusion, opening up more opportunities for the rakyat, including first-time and new investors to Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB), to participate in and benefit from ASNB’s investment products.
