CIMB revises 2025 GDP forecast to 4.3% on trade easing, stronger US ties


KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Treasury and Market Research has revised its 2025 gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast for Malaysia upwards to 4.3 per cent from 4.0 per cent previously, premised on easing trade tensions and indications of constructive United States-Malaysia dialogue.

In a note, it said that although this represents an improvement, it still falls short of the government’s 4.5-5.5 per cent target, reflecting a more cautious view on the recovery in external demand and domestic momentum.
