Malaysia's economy is on track to grow faster in 2026 than initially projected, the central bank said on Tuesday, despite trade disruptions and higher fuel prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East and U.S. tariffs. Bank Negara Malaysia now expects economic growth of between 4%-5% this year, revising its forecast slightly upwards from 4%-4.5%, supported by strong household spending, sustained demand for electrical and electronic exports, and steady tourism, according to documents released along with its annual report for 2025.
