PUTRAJAYA, April 24 - Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the Treasury will examine and review the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s latest assessment report on Malaysia's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP); as reported in the April 2025 World Economic Outlook.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said a full statement on the matter would be announced at the Special Parliamentary Sitting to be held on May 5th.
"There are reviews being done internationally for the United States (US), China and most countries. There's a bit of a downgrade.
"Bank Negara and the Treasury will look at it and review it. I will announce it and I will give a full statement in Parliament on May 5th," he said.
He said this when met by reporters after the Royal Malaysian Customs Department's (JKDM) Hari Raya Celebration here.
The international review is not only limited to Malaysia, but involves many countries such as the United States and China.
The Prime Minister commented on the matter following the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s downward revision of Malaysia's real GDP growth forecast for 2025 to 4.1 percent, compared to 4.7 percent previously, in line with the downward revision of growth forecasts across the region.
