Malaysia Central Bank Lowers Growth Forecast Amid US Tariff Impact

Malaysia’s central bank has revised its economic outlook for 2025, citing challenges stemming from U.S. trade policies. Bank Negara Malaysia now anticipates economic growth within a range of 4% to 4.8%, down from its earlier projection of 4.5% to 5.5%. Inflation expectations have also been adjusted, with the central bank forecasting a range of 1.5% to 2.3% for this year, compared to a prior estimate of 2% to 3.5%. These adjustments reflect a broader moderation in both cost and demand projections.
