KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 — RHB Investment Bank Bhd (RHB IB) has maintained its 2025 gross domestic product (GDP) forecast at 4.5 per cent year-on-year (YoY), despite Malaysia’s first quarter 2025 (1Q 2025) GDP growth data coming in slightly lower than expected at 4.4 per cent.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16 — Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is projected to remain resilient at 4.5 per cent in 2025 compared to 5.2 per cent in 2024, driven by strong export performance and sustained domestic demand, said OCBC senior Asean economist Lavanya Venkateswaran.

SINGAPORE, Feb 28 — Singapore's second-largest bank Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC) said it expected interest rates to trend downwards, likely from second half of 2024, after posting a 12 per cent jump in fourth-quarter net profit that missed expectations.
