Key Takeaways

– Inflation remains remarkably contained at just 1.38%, giving Malaysian households breathing room even as global price pressures persist elsewhere.
– Unemployment sits at a manageable 3.76%, suggesting a labour market that is absorbing workers without triggering wage-driven price spirals.
