MALAYSIA’S headline inflation is expected to increase modestly in 2020, with consumer price inflation to average higher in the range of 1.5-2% next year as compared with 0.7% projected for 2019, said the World Bank. In its 21st edition of the Malaysia Economic Monitor - Making Ends Meet report launched today, it said the higher projection mainly reflects the lapse in the effects of consumption tax policy changes in 2018.
