Malaysia's Industrial Output in October Shows a Modest Increase

According to recent government data, Malaysia's industrial production index experienced a 2.1% rise in October compared to the same period last year. This figure, however, falls short of the anticipated growth of 2.5% as predicted by a survey of 12 economists conducted by Reuters.

The data indicates a slight deceleration in industrial production, which may prompt further analysis into the underlying factors affecting this performance. Despite the lower-than-expected growth, the industrial sector continues to show resilience amidst global economic uncertainties.
