The Ringgit, Inflation, and the Economy: What Lies Ahead?


Listen Later

Will the Ringgit strengthen or weaken? Should we feel optimistic about Malaysia’s economy heading into 2025? And how is Budget 2025 shaping up a month after its announcement?

In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we speak with Caroline Wong, Country Risk Analyst at BMI, part of Fitch Solutions, to break down Malaysia’s GDP performance, Budget 2025, monetary policy, and the outlook for the Ringgit.

We dive into the drivers behind Malaysia’s Q3 GDP growth, the fiscal consolidation measures in Budget 2025, and whether the right balance between growth and sustainability is being achieved. Caroline also shares her thoughts on Bank Negara Malaysia’s OPR stance, inflation trends, and the factors shaping the Ringgit’s resilience amid global trade uncertainties.
