FX.co ★ Malaysia’s Industrial Output Growth Accelerates to 4.8% in December

Malaysia’s industrial production expanded by 4.8% year-over-year in December 2025, marking a modest acceleration from the 4.3% growth recorded in November 2025. The latest data, updated on 9 February 2026, indicates a steady improvement in the country’s industrial momentum toward the end of the year.

Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s performance with the same month a year earlier. The pickup from November to December suggests that Malaysia’s industrial sector ended 2025 on a firmer footing, potentially providing a stronger base for economic activity heading into 2026. Investors and policymakers are likely to watch upcoming releases closely to see whether this upward trend in production can be sustained.
