PETALING JAYA: Kenanga Research has revised its 2025 forecast for Malaysia’s current account (CA) surplus down to 1.4% of gross domestic product (GDP), from 1.9% previously, after the country posted its weakest surplus on record in the second quarter of financial year 2025 (2Q25).
“The CA surplus fell sharply to RM300mil in 2Q25, or just 0.1% of GDP despite smaller services and primary income deficits,” the research house said in a note to clients yesterday.
