29 October 2025, 09:33 Malaysia: Producer Prices Drop the Least in 7 Months.
Producer prices in Malaysia fell 0.8% year-on-year in September 2025, easing from a 2.8% decline in the previous month and marking the mildest drop in the current seven-month streak of decreases. The manufacturing sector shrank at a slower pace (-2.1% vs -4.0% in August), as a sharp fall in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products (-8.9%) was offset by gains across other segments. Meanwhile, mining output rebounded (1.1% vs-3.4%), supported by strong growth in the extraction of natural gas (8.9%). Electricity and gas supply rose faster (4.6% vs 4.1%), and water supply surged sharply (9.1% vs 3.4%). In addition, the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector expanded at a quicker pace (7.8% vs 7.3%), led by a double-digit rise in the growing of perennial crops (11.7%). On a monthly basis, producer prices climbed 0.5%, accelerating from a 0.1% gain in August.
