PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s household debt, which is one of the highest in Asean, is expected to remain manageable at this juncture even as the global economy faces rising uncertainties and recessionary risks.
Although household debt-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio is relatively high at 84.1% as of last year, the second-highest after Thailand, various indicators show that household debt is not a concern for corporate Malaysia this year as households have sufficient liquidity buffers to manage their debt obligations.
