Malaysia inflation still lowest in 'emerging Asia'

The 1.3% inflation is lowest since February 2010.

According to BBVA Research, Malaysia's inflation in September edged down to 1.3% y/y (consensus: 1.4% y/y) from 1.4% y/y the previous month.

Here's more from BBVA Research:

September's outturn was Malaysia’s lowest level of inflation since February 2010, and is the current lowest rate in emerging Asian economies, which may allow the central bank to keep interest rates at 3.0%, a level they have mentioned several times as being "rather accommodative."

Bank Negara Malaysia will hold its last monetary policy meeting of the year on November 8, where we expect no change in rates, despite the central bank's governor recently stating that downside risks to growth were stronger than risks from price pressures.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
