FX.co ★ Malaysia’s CPI Flat for Second Straight Month in July, Signalling Tame Price Pressures

Malaysia’s consumer price index (CPI) recorded no change month-over-month in July 2026, matching the zero percent reading seen in June 2026. The back-to-back 0.00% prints indicate that, on a month-over-month basis, overall consumer prices were unchanged for two consecutive months.

The data, updated on 17 August 2026, show that July’s CPI performance is a direct continuation of June’s trend, with no acceleration or decline in prices compared with the previous month. In the context of the month-over-month comparison, the “actual” figure for July measures the change in prices versus June, while the “previous” figure reflects June’s change versus May—both registering at 0.00%. This suggests a period of short-term price stability in Malaysia’s consumer basket over early summer 2026.
