The market responded positively with the recent formation of a new federal government starring PH-BN that is led by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, with the FBM KLCI rallying by more than 4% at breaking the 1500 psychological barrier yesterday. Even so, there is much to do for the new Prime Minister and government, with among their priorities including appointing a fully functioning cabinet and tabling a new budget.

We speak to Imran Yusof, Head of Research of MIDF Amanah Investment Bank for more insights.
