FX.co ★ Malaysia’s Monthly Inflation Grinds to a Halt in June as CPI Growth Hits 0.0%

Malaysia’s consumer price index (CPI) was flat on a month-over-month basis in June 2026, with the indicator holding at 0.00% compared with May, when prices edged up by 0.10%. The latest figures, updated on 17 July 2026, signal a pause in short-term inflationary pressure in the country.

The June reading marks a moderation from the previous month’s pace, where the 0.10% rise in May represented a slight increase over April on a month-over-month basis. By contrast, June’s 0.00% print suggests that, overall, consumer prices neither increased nor decreased compared with May.

The month-over-month comparison highlights a cooling in immediate price momentum, which will be closely watched by policymakers and market participants as they assess the trajectory of inflation and its implications for interest rates and broader economic conditions in Malaysia.
