PETALING JAYA: The economy is expected to remain underpinned by resilient private consumption in the second half of 2025, despite a moderation in distributive trade momentum and global uncertainties, according to analysts.
While growth in the distributive trade index (DTI) softened slightly in May, economists projected that favourable labour conditions, targeted policy measures and a recent interest rate cut would continue to support household spending and cushion downside risks to gross domestic product (GDP) growth.
