GDP growth projection revision depends on tariff outcome


KUALA LUMPUR: Putrajaya will decide on whether Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection for 2025 should be revised based on how the US tariff situation unfolds, says Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.

“The tariff announcement was last week. At the moment, it was the first salvo that actually went up. As we go in and we discuss, things may change,” the Finance Minister II said on the sidelines of the 12th Asean Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting here yesterday.
