PUTRAJAYA, Nov 15 — The Malaysian economy is expected to record growth of more than five per cent for the third consecutive year, driven by consistently strong economic performance, said Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.
He said Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 5.1 per cent and 5.2 per cent in 2024 and 2025, respectively, while this year’s performance is also showing the same momentum.
“Alhamdulillah, the important thing is that our GDP this year, God willing, will exceed five per cent for three consecutive years,” he told reporters at the 2026 Finance Run programme organised by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) in conjunction with National Sports Day here today.
He also shared that the preliminary estimates released by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) indicated that the country’s economy was expected to grow by 5.3 per cent in the third quarter of 2026.
