Overview

Malaysia’s Current Account Balance (CAB) recorded a surplus of RM12.2 billion in the third quarter of 2025, driven by stronger net exports of Goods and a surplus in Services trade. The Financial Account registered a net outflow of RM11.2 billion compared to RM2.2 billion in the previous quarter, mainly due to outflows in Portfolio Investment and Financial Derivatives. At the same time, Malaysia’s International Reserves increased to RM520.8 billion at the end of third quarter.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) recorded a higher net inflow of RM8.5 billion opposed to RM1.6 billion in the preceding quarter. Meanwhile, Direct Investment Abroad (DIA) recorded a turnaround to a net outflow of RM1.7 billion as against net inflow of RM0.6 billion in the previous quarter.
