KUALA LUMPUR, 20 January 2026 — Malaysia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) has experienced a modest year-over-year increase of 1.6% as of December 2025, according to the latest data update. This rise represents a slight acceleration from the previous month's CPI rate of 1.4%, recorded in November 2025.

The CPI is a critical economic indicator that measures the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services, reflecting inflation levels in the country. A rise in CPI generally indicates an increase in consumer prices, hinting at inflationary pressures within the economy.

This latest data suggests a continuing trend of gradual price increases, sparking discussions among economists and policymakers on potential impacts on the Malaysian economy and living costs. Stakeholders and economic analysts will closely monitor these developments amidst global economic uncertainties and domestic policy considerations as 2026 unfolds.
