Malaysia Defense Budget Stands at USD 3.5 Bn in 2017, According to SDI Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

09 Oct 2017 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – Malaysia’s defense budget is estimated at USD 3.5 billion as of 2017, which represents a drop of 17.6% YoY. Over 2013-2017, the country’s defense budget posted a CAGR of -8.58%. The major factor responsible for the declining military budget is the lower share of GDP allocated to defense sector. Malaysia has also suspended several of its novel procurement programs and is increasingly promoting the modernisation of its existing equipment to curtail costs. This is part of endeavors by the country’s government to implement economic reforms and stabilise the economy. Malaysia has also released its 11th five-year growth plan, wherein plans for attaining economic upswing have been well drawn up. With the implementation of the plans the Malaysian GDP is likely to rise.

During the analysis period, the national MoD allocated an average of 21.1% of the overall defense budget to capex, while an average of 78.9% was set aside for current expenses. In the foreseeable future, allocation to capex is poised to remain at 23.2% on average. For the next 2 years, allocation towards capex is projected to slightly decrease owing to the postponement of a number of procurement programs.
