KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is at a higher risk of being slapped with new tariffs for exports into the United States should Donald Trump win in the November presidential poll.
“For now, there is no clarity yet on how the tariff will be imposed on importers,” said Lee in SERC’s quarterly economic tracker media briefing. “With a plethora of investments streaming in from multinationals like Google, Microsoft, ByteDance and Tesla, Malaysia will experience a global tech upcycle, especially where digital infrastructure like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data centres and electric vehicles are concerned.
“For 2025, we forecast real GDP growth to sustain at a healthy clip of 5%, reflecting a continued pace of domestic demand, higher private investment and better exports. The key sectors are affordable public housing, public transport and infrastructure, ports, roads, healthcare, education and training and digital infrastructure.
“To address the old-age and retirees’ financial protection challenge, it is proposed that higher income relief of up to RM8,000 for an increase in the Employees Provident Fund voluntary contribution rates for those aged 55 to 60; and tax incentives for employers to offset employees’ monthly wages to employers who voluntarily re-employ workers after the retirement age 60.”
