Malaysia’s imports rose 5.3% year-on-year to MYR 125.50 billion in January 2026, slowing from a downwardly revised 9.5% growth in the prior month and missing market forecasts of 9.9%. It was the mildest increase in purchases since a drop in last August, due to more subdued domestic demand at the start of the year.
