During the tabling of the 2027 state budget, which totals RM14.845 billion, Abang Johari stressed the government's commitment to development, particularly in rural areas, to ensure the prosperity and wellbeing of the people. The budget allocation includes RM5.747 billion for operating expenditure and RM9.098 billion for the Development Fund Account.

He urged Sarawakians to move forward with confidence, courage, and unity as the state strives for 2030. Abang Johari envisioned a Sarawak that is prosperous, inclusive, sustainable, competitive, confident in its identity, secure in its future, and increasingly respected in Malaysia, ASEAN, and the world.
