The Current Market
Malaysia’s 2022 post-pandemic recovery was robust, bolstered by a diversified economy, strong policy frameworks, and commodity exports. However, 2023 brings policy trade-offs, including a projected growth slowdown, high inflation, and substantial private debt.
Challenges arise from elevated inflation and external pressures affecting key export markets, potentially impacting growth prospects. The newly elected government faces the intricate task of ensuring policy
continuity while implementing the ambitious Twelfth Malaysia Plan and the MADANI vision outlined in the 2023 budget.
Although certain sectors lagged during the recovery, inequality increased. Financial stability concerns emerge from the necessity of monetary tightening amid high household and corporate debt levels.
