KUALA LUMPUR: Fitch Ratings has maintained its "neutral” outlook on Malaysia’s banking sector for 2025 while adjusting the outlooks for several Asia-Pacific countries amid trade war exposures.
The rating agency said it has adjusted its outlooks for the banking sectors in South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam to reflect weaker prospects for banks in 2025 amid exposures related to the United States (US) trade policies, though the overall banking sector outlook for Asia-Pacific remains "neutral”.
