KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for 2025 has been revised to 3.9 per cent, a 0.6 percentage-point downgrade from January 2025’s projection, according to the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects report.
The downgrade was attributed to the unpredictable macroeconomic effects of higher trade barriers, which the World Bank said could weigh on growth despite having benefited from fiscal policy support such as social spending programmes and public investment.
