FISCAL POLICY OF THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT IN FACING THE ECONOMIC CRISIS
Keywords:
fiscal policy, economic crisis, Malaysia, policy implementation, crisis management, economic recoveryAbstract
This study examines the Malaysian government's fiscal policy responses to economic crises from 1997 to 2023. Using a mixed-method approach combining quantitative analysis of macroeconomic data and qualitative interviews with policy experts, the research evaluates the effectiveness of various fiscal interventions during major economic downturns. The findings reveal significant evolution in Malaysia's fiscal policy implemen-tation, with increasingly sophisticated response mechanisms and im-proved delivery systems over time. The study demonstrates that Malay-sia's fiscal policies during crises have generally been effective, particu-larly when supported by strong institutional coordination and digital infra-structure. The research contributes to understanding of fiscal policy ef-fectiveness in emerging economies during crisis periods.
