KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) is projected to expand by 4.9 per cent in 2025, driven by domestic tailwinds and tempered by global economic uncertainties, according to research houses.
Maybank Investment Bank (Maybank IB) noted that the forecast marks a moderation from the 5.2 per cent expansion recorded in the first nine months of 2024, attributed to the interplay of strong domestic factors and external challenges tied to global developments, including potential trade policy changes under a second Trump presidency.
