PRIVATE sector debt in Malaysia is on the rise as business expansion continues to be fuelled by debt accumulation over the years.

By end-2018, total credit to the Malaysian private non-financial sector had touched RM1.94 trillion. This is a sharp increase from just RM906bil in 2009, according to the Bank for International Settlements’ data.
