Senior Economist Julia Goh and Economist Loke Siew Ting at UOB Group review the latest GDP figures in Malaysia.
Malaysia’s economic growth eased further to 2.9% y/y in 2Q23 (from +5.6% in 1Q23), which was lower than our estimate (+3.2%) and Bloomberg consensus (+3.3%). The pace of growth is the slowest since 3Q21 albeit largely weighed down by a high base effect from last year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, GDP recorded a larger increase of 1.5% q/q (1Q23: +0.9% q/q).
Despite a sustained easing trend from its peak in 3Q22, growth performance is not bad considering the negative external outlook and normalisation of domestic demand as pandemic measures are rolled back. Malaysia’s domestic demand has fared well given the negative external outlook while foreign inflows (FDI and portfolio) persisted and the labor market improved. We anticipate more clarity on domestic economic policies and plans in the coming months that would help to catalyse higher investments and Malaysia’s growth momentum. Nevertheless, recognizing a more challenging external environment and reflecting a weaker 2Q23 GDP growth number, we tweak our 2023 full-year GDP forecast lower to 4.0% from 4.4% previously. This downward revision further supports our call for the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) to stay unchanged at 3.00% for the rest of the year.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
