KUALA LUMPUR: The Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia (Samenta) has described the 2027 Budget as an "SME Budget".

It also endorsed the declaration of 2027 as "Malaysia MSME Year" by Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong.

Samenta president Datuk William Ng said the budget placed micro, small and medium enterprises at the forefront of the nation's economic momentum.

He said the financing package and tax cut would provide direct cash flow relief and help businesses address core operating overheads.
