PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s economy is expected to remain on a moderate growth path through 2025, supported by resilient domestic demand but challenged by mounting global trade tensions, according to research houses.
Despite the encouraging 4.5% year-on-year expansion in the second quarter of 2025 (2Q25) advance estimates, released by the Statistics Department on July 18, analysts cautioned that external uncertainties – especially ongoing tariff negotiations with the United States – could cap the upside for full-year growth.
