KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21, 2025 — Malaysia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) held steady in January, registering a modest yet consistent increase of 0.10% compared to December 2024. The data, recently updated, offers a snapshot of the country's inflationary trends at the start of the new year.
The January figures, released on the 21st of February, indicate no change in the month-over-month growth rate from December, which also saw a 0.10% rise. This stability reflects a continuity in consumer prices, suggesting a period of economic steadiness in the short term.
Economists will be closely watching these trends as they provide insights into the broader economic health of Malaysia, influencing both monetary policy decisions and business strategies. As the year progresses, any shifts in the CPI will be crucial in understanding the evolving landscape of consumer prices in the country.
