Perak’s RM85 Million Surplus Ends Years of Deficits in 2025

Perak has turned its financial fortunes around after years of struggle. The state, once burdened by three straight years of deficits, now reports a revenue surplus of RM85 million in 2025. Leaders credit this recovery to careful planning, high-impact initiatives, and the hard work of its people across cities like Ipoh, Taiping, and Teluk Intan.

Between 2023 and 2025, Perak’s economic revival took shape through targeted initiatives. Key projects—such as AHTV, LuMIC, Perak HIP, SVTP, and KIGIP—drove growth in manufacturing, digital innovation, and tourism. These efforts earned federal backing, securing spots in Budget 2026 and the 13th Malaysia Plan.

Ipoh, the state capital, led with a boom in tourism, advanced manufacturing, and digital economy initiatives like tech parks and KSM projects. Taiping revitalised its mining sector, introduced agricultural innovations, and expanded eco-tourism. Meanwhile, Teluk Intan focused on agro-processing and logistics, further diversifying the state’s economy. Menteri Besar Saarani Mohamad urged Perakians to capitalise on the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign to boost tourism. He also highlighted the role of civil servants, entrepreneurs, youths, and local communities in the state’s turnaround. Strict financial controls, disciplined spending, and political stability provided the foundation for this growth.

Perak’s surplus of RM85 million in 2025 marks a clear shift from past deficits. The state’s recovery rests on major initiatives, federal support, and contributions from its cities and residents. With ongoing initiatives and the Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, Perak aims to build on this momentum in the years ahead.
