Malaysia’s growth momentum to rise above 5pc in Q2 2024, says RHB Investment Bank

RHB Investment Bank expects Malaysia’s economic growth to accelerate above five per cent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2024 and likely persist into the next quarter. — Picture by Firdaus LatifKUALA LUMPUR, May 17 — RHB Investment Bank Bhd expects Malaysia’s economic growth to accelerate above five per cent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2024 and likely persist into the next quarter.

“The RHB-LEI suggests that Malaysia’s economic growth momentum will see an immediate pickup in 1Q 2024 at 4.5 per cent, against our AR model, which pencils Malaysia’s 1Q 2024 GDP growth at 4.4 per cent.“Overall, we keep our outlook for Malaysia’s GDP growth at 4.6 per cent in 2024, underpinned by rosy external and domestic factors,” said RHB IB.

RHB IB viewed that Malaysia’s economy would be underpinned by resilient domestic expenditure patterns and improvement in tourism activities based on three catalysts.The catalysts are, firstly, the country’s labour market which remains tight, with the unemployment rate returning to pre-pandemic levels on the back of healthy job creation rates.
