UEM Sunrise: Budget 2026 could catalyse growth opportunities for housing sector

Budget 2026 is a timely instrument for strengthening the economy and promoting inclusive development, in alignment with the national agenda, according to UEM Sunrise Bhd (KL:UEMS) officer-in-charge and chief financial officer Hafizuddin Sulaiman.

He said Budget 2026’s measures on housing affordability, infrastructure connectivity, urban liveability and civil service salary restructuring could catalyse growth opportunities in the housing sector.

The inclusion of targeted subsidies and sustainability measures further demonstrates the government’s commitment to long-term structural improvements, he added.

UEM Sunrise also expressed support for initiatives to improve housing access, including rent-to-own and build-then-sell schemes.

“These measures strengthen our resolve and commitment to deliver long-term value to stakeholders while contributing to the national development agenda,” Hafizuddin said.

He said the company remains focused on working with government and corporate partners to develop sustainable urban solutions and raise the quality of life for Malaysians.
