EVENT OVERVIEW

According to Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance, Malaysia’s economy is expected to grow between 4% – 4.5% in 2026. As Malaysia navigates the global headwinds from trade tensions and tariffs and domestic cost-of-living pressures, the Malaysia’s parliament has tabled the first budget under the 13th Malaysia Plan, themed ‘The Fourth Madani Budget: The People’s Budget’ on 10 October 2025.

Malaysia’s 2026 Budget outlines RM 470 billion expenditure plan that pivots to advancing fiscal reform, strengthening the economy and building competitiveness through digitalisation, modernisation and green transition. In line with Malaysia’s digitalisation and Malaysia’s AI Nation 2030 goals, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is to develop a sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) cloud infrastructure with an investment of RM 2 billion – to fortify Malaysia’s data sovereignty, improve national AI capabilities and safeguard national data.

As Malaysia asserts its position as the nexus of business and innovation hub, finance leaders stand at the forefront of an unprecedented finance transformation, from back-office operations to strategic decision-making, powered by AI’s predictive power. Also, 2026 promises a finance leadership era defined by agility, innovation, and resilience—where human judgement and AI empowerment coalesce to transform decision enablement and sustain competitive advantage in the Malaysia’s dynamic markets.

With the accelerated adoption of AI in fintech, real-time analytics, and regulatory frameworks, how can finance leaders in Malaysia successfully merge the latest technology advancements with prudent financial strategy to unlock new growth streams and operational efficiencies?

The 6^th Annual FutureCFO Malaysia Conference 2026, themed “Forging Future Advantage” will serve as a vital platform for finance leaders in Malaysia to navigate risks, optimise costs, bridge digital skills gaps within finance teams and embed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) imperatives at the core of financial strategy.
