KUALA LUMPUR (March 13): Malaysia’s impressive economic performance in 2025 is expected to continue driving the country’s economic momentum this year, despite global uncertainties and geopolitical challenges. Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said last year’s growth, which exceeded the government’s target, shows that the country’s economic fundamentals remain solid, supporting the growth outlook for this year. “Alhamdulillah, we can see that Malaysia’s economy has truly rebounded. In the fourth quarter of 2025, gross domestic product growth was 6.3%, and for the whole of 2025 it was 5.2%, driven by ongoing economic reforms, domestic investment and domestic spending. Insya-Allah, we are starting from a more stable and stronger position than before,” he said at a post-Cabinet meeting press conference chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim here on Friday.
