PETALING JAYA: The possibility of Malaysia’s economic growth outlook being weighed down by the overall exports performance is now becoming more apparent with the latest industrial production index (IPI) and manufacturing data released by the Statistics Department.
The government forecasts gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.5% to 5.5% this year. For the first quarter of financial year 2025 (1Q25), GDP grew 4.4% after expanding 5% in 4Q24.
