Fraziali: Malaysia’s inflation is not ‘misbehaving’

“In a way, when we do a conditional pause, let me stress it is a conditional pause – it depends on incoming data as well,” said Fraziali.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s inflation currently isn’t misbehaving, giving the central bank room to keep up its “conditional pause,” according to a senior official.

“In terms of food prices and all the supply shocks, we have a history of seeing through those shocks,” Bank Negara’s assistant governor Fraziali Ismail said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin yesterday.
