Ringgit rebounds to close higher as 2Q GDP forecast beats expectations
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — The ringgit rebounded from recent losses to end higher against the US dollar on Friday, supported by a better-than-expected forecast of Malaysia's second quarter growth, which signalled that the domestic economy remains resilient amid external uncertainties. At 6pm, the local note rose to 4.2410/2455 from 4.2465/2510 at Thursday's close. Malaysia's economy is forecast to grow by 4.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2025 (2Q 2025) based on advance gross domestic product (GDP) estimates, slightly outpacing the previous quarter's 4.4 per cent. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the recent pre‑emptive overnight policy rate cut by Bank Negara Malaysia would likely support growth in the second half, especially as downside risks have increased. 'The ringgit appeared to have gained some strength today, improving 0.13 per cent against the US dollar,' he noted. Second quarter growth was driven by robust domestic demand, with the growth momentum sustained in April and May, with a stronger performance anticipated in June, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia's (DOSM) advance forecast today. At the close, the ringgit traded mostly easier against a basket of major currencies. It improved against the Japanese yen to 2.8517/8549 from 2.8548/8580 at yesterday's close, but eased versus the euro to 4.9336/9388 from 4.9217/9269 and retreated against the British pound to 5.6999/7060 from 5.6886/6946. The local note trended mostly higher against Asean currencies. It slipped against the Indonesian rupiah to 260.2/260.6 compared with yesterday's 259.8/260.2, fell against the Thai baht to 13.3027/3065 from 13.0521/0720 and traded down vis-à-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3027/3065 from 3.3013/3051. It was traded almost flat versus the Philippine peso at 7.41/7.43 from 7.41/7.43. — Bernama

Tengku Zafrul: Malaysia needs homegrown tech, not just more products on the road
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Malaysia needs more technology and innovation originating from within its borders, rather than just more products on the road, said Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz. He said the government's focus on promoting deep localisation and high-technology transfer is to create better employment, elevate technical capabilities, and enable Malaysian small and medium enterprises to become global suppliers. 'What we want is the ripple effect to spur local innovation, nurture engineers and technicians, support training institutions, and accelerate broader economic growth. 'This is how true partnerships should work: where the benefits are not only mutual but transformational for the host country's domestic economy,' he said during the Official Launch of the Jaecoo J8 Premium Off-road First Class today. Tengku Zafrul said that the launch is not just a celebration of a new premium off-road vehicle, but also a milestone that symbolises the deepening partnership between Malaysia and the Chinese automotive brand Chery, as well as the continued dynamism of the country's automotive sector. He noted that as consumers become more discerning and demand greater quality and innovation, milestones such as today's launch send a powerful message that Malaysia is fast becoming a strategic hub for global automotive brands seeking to innovate, grow, and compete. 'We seek Chery's efforts to deepen its local footprint through increased local content, vendor development, or skills transfer. 'This is a critical step in transforming Malaysia into a high-value manufacturing and research and development (R&D) hub for next-generation mobility,' he said. To ensure long-term sustainability and scalability, Tengku Zafrul said Malaysia strongly encourages automotive players, particularly original equipment manufacturers, to position the country as a strategic regional hub, with a strong emphasis on export-oriented production. In this regard, he said, Chery has demonstrated commendable progress in expanding its export footprint. 'Consolidating production for both domestic consumption and export markets not only enhances economies of scale but also strengthens the competitiveness of local component suppliers. 'This approach further supports the formation of new industrial clusters focusing on advanced automotive technologies, reinforcing Malaysia's role in the regional value chain,' he said. With a local ecosystem already supporting over 700,000 workers and contributing more than 4.0 per cent of national gross domestic product (GDP), he said the automotive industry remains a key pillar of Malaysia's economy. 'As outlined in the National Automotive Policy 2020, our aim is for the industry to contribute RM104.2 billion to Malaysia's GDP by 2030. 'To get there, we must move up the value chain, invest in R&D, and build our capabilities in software, electronics, and sustainable materials, not just in assembly or trading,' he said. — Bernama
