Malaysia's economy expanded at its fastest pace in three years in 2025, surpassing expectations as strong domestic demand, exports and investment propelled growth, with momentum likely to continue this year, the central bank said on Friday. Full-year 2025 economic growth reached 5.2%, a notch above the 5.1% expansion the previous year and exceeding official projections of between 4% and 4.8% to record the Southeast Asian economy's highest growth rate since the 9% achieved in 2022, government and central bank data showed.
