The construction industry’s growth in 2024 will also be supported by works funded by Malaysia’s largest ever government budget of MYR393.8 billion ($89.8 billion). Of the total, MYR97.6 billion ($22.2 billion) will be allocated to support tourism activities, while MYR58.7 billion ($13.4 billion) will be allocated to the Education Ministry, with MYR16.3 billion ($3.7 billion) to the Higher Education Ministry and MYR1.9 billion ($433.1 million) for school upgrades and maintenance; additionally MYR41.2 billion ($9.4 billion) will go towards the Health Ministry.

Malaysia’s construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 5.6% during 2025-28, supported by investment in large-scale transport, manufacturing facilities, and renewable energy projects.
