Malaysia’s money supply expanded at a faster pace in February 2026, with year-over-year growth rising to 4.3%, up from 3.4% in January 2026. The data, updated on 31 March 2026, indicate a pick-up in liquidity compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning February’s 4.3% reflects the change in money supply versus February of the previous year, while January’s 3.4% represents the change versus January a year earlier. The acceleration suggests a strengthening in monetary aggregates early in 2026, which may signal improving financial conditions or changing demand for money within the Malaysian economy.
Market participants and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases to see whether this upward trend in money supply growth persists, as it can have implications for credit activity, inflation dynamics, and overall economic momentum in the months ahead.
