Kuala Lumpur, 12 March 2026 – MBSB Investment Bank Bhd expects Malaysia’s retail sales growth to remain resilient at about 6.0% in 2026, slightly below 6.1% in 2025, supported by stronger domestic consumption driven by festive spending, salary adjustments under the Public Service Remuneration System, and government cash aid such as Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah. The bank said Malaysia’s domestic economy will continue to be supported by a healthy labour market, wage growth, stable inflation, and tourism recovery ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026, although geopolitical tensions in West Asia and rising energy prices linked to the United States–Iran conflict may pose inflation risks. Despite this, inflation is projected to rise only slightly to about 1.8% in 2026, which should remain supportive of household spending and domestic demand.Source - https://www.bernamabiz.com/news.php?id=2533623  (ICE KUALA LUMPUR)
