Malaysia’s PMI June 2025

According to the latest report by S&P Global Market Intelligence, the Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) for Malaysia’s manufacturing sector reached 49.3 in June 2025, below the 50-point threshold that separates growth from contraction.

In June, Malaysia's manufacturing sector showed signs of improvement, with the slowing of declines in production and new orders. Purchasing activity remained subdued, and input inventories were broadly stable, as some firms maintain stock levels as a precaution against rising costs and potential supply delays.

Employment grew for the first time in nine months. With increased staffing levels, firms were able to reduce outstanding workloads, leading to a slight decline in backlogs.
