KUALA LUMPUR: The seasonally adjusted S&P Global Malaysia Manufacturing PMI rose from 49.5 in October to 50.1 in November, indicating a slight improvement in sector conditions and marking the first uptick since May 2024.
“Malaysian manufacturers saw operating conditions move back into positive territory in the penultimate month of 2025, albeit only fractionally. New orders were the key point of improvement in November, rising to the greatest extent since April 2022. This encouraged a stronger rise in purchasing activity and a renewed uplift in staffing levels that was the strongest since September 2022,” S&P Global Market Intelligence economist Usamah Bhatti said.
