Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that Malaysia's service sector growth momentum is likely to continue into the first quarter, driven by government cash aid programs, festive spending, and tourism activities [1] - The GDP growth forecast for 2026 has been revised upward from 4.4% to 4.5%, reflecting stronger momentum entering the first quarter, although this impact is partially offset by a higher base in the second half of the year [1] - The economists maintain their view that Bank Negara Malaysia will keep the interest rate unchanged at 2.75% by the end of 2026, as a moderate inflation outlook provides room for this decision [1]
