Analysts at Nomura Securities wrote in a research report that Malaysia's GDP growth is expected to increase in 2026, as domestic demand remains strong. Investment spending was strong, supported by the government's implementation of structural reforms and major infrastructure projects. A tightening domestic labor market will support private consumption, while the tech cycle is likely to support Malaysia's export growth. However, Nomura Securities said that growth prospects may face risks from external factors, such as a sharp slowdown in global growth and a downturn in the technology cycle.
