Kuala Lumpur, 9 December 2025 – Fitch Ratings affirmed Malaysia’s sovereign credit rating at BBB+ with a stable outlook, citing the country’s strong performance in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators, particularly political stability, institutional quality, and rule of law, which support policy certainty and fiscal resilience. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim highlighted that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is projected at 4.6% in 2025, with a buoyant labour market, rising wages, and increased Artificial Intelligence (AI)- and technology-related investments driving economic momentum. The MADANI government’s reforms, including the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act (PFFRA) 2023 and the Government Procurement Act 2025, aim to enhance fiscal management, regulatory quality, and supporting deficit reduction—from 5.5% of GDP in 2022 to 3.8% in 2025—and targeting 3% by 2028, while fostering high-skilled job creation and long-term national productivity amid global uncertainties.   Source - https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2025/12/09/fitch039s-affirmation-of-malaysia039s-ratings-bolstered-by-sterling-performance-across-key-esg-indicators    (ICE KUALA LUMPUR)
