MANAGER’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
property market overview 2018
MARKET INDICATIONS
Malaysia’s economy recorded sustained growth of 4.4% during 3Q2018 (2Q2018:4.5%), mainly driven by expansion in domestic demand and higher private investment. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the whole year of 2018 is expected to be in the region of 4.8%.
The Business Conditions Index (BCI) slipped 7.5 points to 108.8 points in 3Q2018, from 116.3 points registered in the second quarter. This suggests that business trends continued to expand albeit at slower pace.
The labour market conditions continued to remain favourable with unemployment rate at 3.4% in 3Q2018 (2Q2018: 3.3%).
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) kept the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) unchanged at 3.25% to remain accommodative and supportive of current economic activity.
The country’s total trade for the period from January to October 2018 was valued at RM1.56 trillion. For the first time, exports breached the RM90 billion mark in October to hit a record high of RM96.38 billion with China remaining as the top export destination. On a y-o-y basis, exports and imports grew 7.5% and 5.4% to RM829.89 billion and RM727.88 billion respectively.
Malaysia’s industrial production index (IPI) was 4.2% higher year-on-year (y-o-y) in October 2018, supported mainly by higher output in the manufacturing and electricity sectors.
The Nikkei Malaysia Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), a measure of business conditions in the country’s manufacturing sector, hit 46.8 in December, down from 48.2 in November, the lowest level since July 2012 as a result of general market slowdown due to lower orders and higher operating expenses. Readings above 50 indicate an expansion while those below 50 indicate contraction.
