17.04.202604:00:00UTC+00Malaysia’s March Inflation Ticks Up to 1.7% YoY, Ending Three-Month Soft Patch

Malaysia’s consumer price growth edged higher in March 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 1.7%, up from 1.4% in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 17 April 2026, suggest a modest firming in inflationary pressures after a period of relatively subdued price growth.

The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, with the March reading reflecting the change in prices versus March a year earlier, while February’s 1.4% rate represented the annual change versus the same month a year before. Although inflation remains contained, the uptick may draw attention from policymakers and investors monitoring the trajectory of consumer prices and its implications for domestic demand and monetary policy.
