  1. Overview and outlook of the Malaysian economy

The Malaysian economy expanded by 5.4% in the first quarter of 2026 (4Q 2025: 6.2%), driven mainly by domestic demand. Household spending remained supported by positive labour market conditions, with the unemployment rate staying low, alongside targeted policy measures. Investment growth was underpinned by continued implementation of multi-year projects by both the private and public sectors, a high realisation rate of approved investments, and the ongoing rollout of national master plans. On the external front, export growth remained strong, driven mainly by continued expansion


in electrical and electronics ("E&E") exports. Meanwhile, gross import growth moderated amid slower growth in capital, intermediate and consumer goods imports.

As a small and open economy, Malaysia will inevitably face both direct and indirect impact from the ongoing geopolitical conflict in the Middle East. Higher energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and heightened uncertainty are expected to weigh on the external environment. Nevertheless, the Malaysian economy is expected to remain resilient in 2026, with growth expected to come in within the range of 4% - 5%, supported by steady domestic demand and continued expansion in our export performance.

The resilient domestic demand will provide a strong buffer against external headwinds. Household spending will be underpinned by firm labour market conditions and continuous policy support. Investment activity will be driven by the continued progress of multi-year projects in both the private and public sectors, as well as the ongoing implementation of national master plans. Despite the external headwinds, export growth will continue to be supported by the global technology expansion, particularly for E&E goods, reflecting Malaysia's role in global value chains.
