KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s first quarter (1Q) 2025 gross domestic product (GDP) figures are set to challenge market expectations as investors attempt to untangle a complex mix of past trade distortions and growing concerns over the country’s economic exposure to China.
According to advance estimates, GDP growth moderated to 4.4 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) in 1Q 2025, down from 5.0 per cent in the final quarter of 2024.
