Economic Update | ||||
Inflation Moderates Further In November The headline inflation rate eased for a second straight month to 3.4% YoY in November. This was mainly due to a slower rise in food and transportation costs amid higher base effects. Overall, the headline inflation rate is on track to achieve our 2017 estimate of 3.8%, up from +2.1% in 2016. As for 2018, stable fuel prices and a stronger MYR should translate into lower import prices. As a result, we expect inflation to moderate to 2.7% next year.
