Selangor’s state revenue reached a historic RM3.02 billion in 2025, marking five years of consecutive growth and creating 44,000 jobs.
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor government recorded state revenue collection of RM3.021 billion in 2025, marking a consistent increase for five consecutive years.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the historic achievement of surpassing the RM3 billion mark reflected the state’s strong and consistent financial performance.
“This consistency achieved through revenue collection was the result of hard work, employees who work hard and also the creativity of the state government administration,” he said in his New Year’s Address.
He detailed that revenue targets had been consistently exceeded in recent years.
In 2021, the target of RM2.2 billion was surpassed with a collection of RM2.28 billion.
The momentum continued in 2022 when the RM2.05 billion target was exceeded by over RM500 million, reaching RM2.53 billion.
The performance continued in 2024 with a collection of RM2.867 billion against a RM2.2 billion target.
For 2025, the target of RM2.3 billion was exceeded by almost RM700 million to reach the RM3.021 billion figure.
Amirudin expressed appreciation to the entire state administrative machinery for maintaining the strong revenue performance.
He also highlighted Selangor’s encouraging investment performance, with total investments exceeding RM51 billion as at September 2025.
He said Selangor remained the state that created the most job opportunities from these investments.
“The investments recorded in Selangor have created almost 44,000 job opportunities, the highest compared to other states,” he said.
The figure of 43,998 jobs was compared to Kuala Lumpur’s 43,900, Penang’s 19,700 and Johor’s 14,492.
Amirudin said this proved the quality of the investments received by the state.
Meanwhile, to identify the hardcore poor, the state government will monitor about 3,500 individuals every six months.
This monitoring will include those facing job loss, health problems or income issues.
Relevant agencies such as the Social Welfare Department and zakat will be involved to ensure these groups continue to be assisted.
