According to the latest ANZ report, the Malaysian economy is expected to remain resilient in 2026, with a GDP growth rate of 4.5%. This growth outlook is mainly due to strong domestic investment activity and solid labor market support. According to the report's analysis, demand driven by artificial intelligence will help maintain the country's exports of electrical and electronic products at a high level, thereby partially offsetting the weakness in overall external demand. On the policy side, fiscal policy will continue to focus on consolidation through targeted tax reforms and restrained spending; while monetary policy is expected to remain stable in the context of a balance between growth and inflation risks. Furthermore, the bank's economists expect that a stable interest rate environment and favorable growth prospects will continue to support the Malaysian currency, the ringgit, and the exchange rate of the US dollar to the ringgit may reach 4.00 by the end of 2026. Currently, the USD/MYR exchange rate is around 4.0910.
