KUALA LUMPUR – The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Malaysia has indicated a slight deceleration for the month of May 2025, registering at 1.2%. This marks a decrease from the previous month's figure of 1.4% recorded in April 2025, illustrating a moderated inflation trend in the Southeast Asian economy.
This data, released and updated on 24th June 2025, reflects a year-over-year comparison and suggests that inflationary pressures might be easing in Malaysia. The annual comparison offers insight into how the current economic conditions compare to those of the same period in the previous year, providing a framework for understanding inflation trends and consumer price shifts in the domestic market.
Economic analysts will likely scrutinize these developments closely as they consider potential impacts on monetary policy and broader economic growth in the region. The CPI's downward trajectory could influence both domestic and foreign investor sentiment, as well as consumer confidence in Malaysia's economic environment. The figures for the coming months will be critical in understanding the sustainability of this trend.
