KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s Leading Index (LI) annual growth moderated in July 2025, declining 0.5 per cent to 114.3 points from 114.9 points in the same month last year, the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) said.
Chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin cited double-digit declines in real imports of other basic precious and non-ferrous metals (-16.3 per cent) and the Bursa Malaysia Industrial Index (-13.4 per cent) as factors behind the softer performance.
