Anwar arrived at the ministry at 3.30pm and was greeted by the two deputy finance ministers, Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and Steven Sim Chee Keong, as well as Treasury Deputy Secretary-General Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican. The Prime Minister was then led to the Tax Operations Room and 2023 Budget Operations Room at Level 10 and signed the documents related to the budget.
Anwar was earlier reported to have said the 2023 Budget would take into account the current economic challenges, while at the same time driving the country's economic growth and attracting investment. He said the government also took into account the country's competitiveness, the speed of business approval and several new initiatives, including digitisation and sustainable use and the production of natural resources in the downstream process in the 2023 budget.
