Malaysia's GDP growth likely to remain resilient at 4.5% in 2025 - OCBC

Quick Summary:

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is projected to remain resilient at 4.5 per cent in 2025 compared to 5.2 per cent in 2024, driven by strong export performance and sustained domestic demand, said OCBC senior ASEAN economist Lavanya Venkateswaran.

This is similar to the official estimate of RM8 billion or 0.4 per cent of GDP in savings,” she said.

Meanwhile, she said that the trade surplus will start to stabilise in 2025, barring shocks from the United States (US) tariffs and trade policies.
