PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s economic forecast for 2025 is being maintained for now amid the uncertainties surrounding global trade and implications US tariffs will have on the country’s exports as well as how they will shape supply chains across the world.
Analysts expressed cautious optimism on the country’s economic growth with the Socio-Economic Research Centre (SERC) estimating gross domestic product (GDP) growth at 5% for this year – the mid-point of government forecasts of 4.5% to 5.5%, with domestic demand supporting growth.
