Version 0.27 (2024-04-23 06:24:55.660000)

updates: The report by the Socio Economic Research Centre (SERC) highlights the potential negative effects of higher oil prices on Malaysia's economy, including rising energy prices, inflation, and a dampening of consumer spending and investment demand. RHB Investment Bank predicts that oil prices could reach as high as US$140 per barrel if the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies. However, the report also mentions that the targeted fuel subsidy rationalization in Malaysia will not result in a complete floating of retail petrol prices, and Bank Negara Malaysia is not expected to raise interest rates to address the increase in inflation.
