KUALA LUMPUR: The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) upward revision of Malaysia’s economic growth forecast reflects uncertainties surrounding global trade policies, particularly the United States (US) tariff impacts.
In its July 2025 World Economic Outlook update, the IMF raised Malaysia’s real gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection to 4.5 per cent, an increase of 0.4 percentage points from its April estimate.
