Kota Kinabalu: Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman said Sabah's economy is still stable and strong despite the world's economy facing a crisis caused by economic depression in the United States.
The Chief Minister said this was evidenced by the State Government's ability to continue with its development projects.
He said the economic crisis in the US had not caused any impact to Sabah and hence the reason why the Government had been able to continue with the planned development programmes.
"Sabah's economy is firm and strong, and I will prove it when I present the State Budget 2009 soon," he said when met at the Chief Minister's and State Cabinet's Hari Raya Aidilfiitiri Open House at the Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex, here, Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak stressed that the country had internal strength to weather the global financial market crisis.
In that context, Musa hinted that the Budget 2009 would be a good projection and people-friendly.
On other developments, Industrial Development Assistant Minister Jainab Ahmad said industrial growth in the State showed encouraging developments.
She said to her knowledge so far, none of the industry's participants was facing problems from the global economic crisis.
However, she said the Government was ready to assist any industrialists facing problems, especially those who had direct trade dealings with the US.
She also visited Indonesian Consulate Bapak Rudhito Widago's Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house at Tanjung Aru and later State Secretary Datuk Sukarti Wakiman's open house.
