Inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, eased to a six-month low of 3.8% in December 2022 as compared to 4.0% in November, the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) said on Friday (Jan 20).
Potential spillover effect from China's reopening, and greater access to global markets following Malaysia's ratification of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) and the Progressive Agreement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), will have a positive effect on Malaysia’s export growth in 2023, say economists. However, they also warned that the expected slowdown in global growth, escalation of geopolitical tensions, trade war, and renewed pressure on the global supply chain could negatively impact the trade outlook.
As robust consumer demand drove November's consumer price index up 4% year-on-year — with core inflation hitting a new high of 4.2% — economists expect the upbeat momentum to continue and result in Bank Negara Malaysia having to raise the overnight policy rate or OPR by another 25 basis points to 3% in its Monetary Policy Committee meeting next month.
