Understand the numbers
What Malaysia's economic profile is telling you
Malaysia expanded by 5.2 percent in 2025, with low inflation of 1.4 percent and modeled unemployment of 3.8 percent. WTO data show 2025 exports near $375 billion and Singapore as the largest export destination, but the import total was not independently captured in the same verification pass, so no balance is calculated.
Reading the macro data
Nominal GDP measures current-dollar size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment describe different economic conditions and can have different reference years.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise trade covers goods. A balance appears only when exports and imports have a verified matching year and currency basis.
