FX.co ★ Malaysia’s Industrial Output Growth Cools to 6.5% in June on Year-Over-Year Basis

Malaysia’s industrial production growth eased in June 2026, with output rising 6.5% year-over-year, down from an 8.5% increase recorded in May 2026. The latest figures, updated on 11 August 2026, indicate a moderation in the pace of expansion while still reflecting solid annual growth in the sector.

The data are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning June’s 6.5% gain is measured against industrial production in June of the previous year, while May’s 8.5% was compared to May a year earlier. The slowdown suggests that, although Malaysia’s industrial sector continues to expand, the momentum seen in May has softened heading into mid-year. Investors and policymakers may watch upcoming releases closely to see whether this marks the start of a broader cooling trend or a temporary moderation within an ongoing recovery.
