Malaysia Manufacturing Sector Moves Back To Expansion In November - S&P Global

(RTTNews) - The manufacturing sector in Malaysia moved back up into expansion territory in November, the latest survey from S&P Global revealed on Monday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.1.

That's up from 49.5 in October and it moves above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

Driving the improvement in business conditions was a renewed uptick in new orders. The respective seasonally adjusted index was above the 50.0 no-change mark for only the fourth time in 2025 so far and reached the highest for just over three-and-a half years. Stronger client confidence and new product launches were cited as key factors behind the increase.

Foreign demand for Malaysian manufactured goods meanwhile moved towards neutrality in the penultimate month of the year, as the rate of moderation was only fractional overall.
