BACKGROUND

Just one quarter after geopolitical conflicts and instability overtook the COVID- 19 pandemic as the leading risk to economic growth, survey respondents’ concerns over inflation now exceed their worries about the effects of  geopolitical issues on their countries’ economies (McKinsey & Company, 2022).

Figure 1 Economic Scarring vs GDP (Sunbiz, 2022)

Malaysia is expected to have one of the largest scarrings among Asian emerging markets post-Covid pandemic, according to S&P Global Ratings. In its Economic Outlook Asia-Pacific Q3 2022, S&P projected Malaysia’s scarring to be 10% of gross domestic product (GDP), after the Philippines, India and Thailand. Malaysia is expected to have one of the largest scarrings among Asian emerging markets post-Covid pandemic, according to S&P Global Ratings. In its Economic Outlook Asia- Pacific Q3 2022, S&P projected Malaysia’s scarring to be 10% of gross domestic product (GDP), after the Philippines, India and Thailand. Economic scarring refers to the difference between S&P’s forecast and the level of GDP if growth had been at potential since 2019 (Sunbiz, 2022).

S&P expects Malaysia’s real GDP growth to come in at 6.1% for 2022 and lower at 5.0% for 2023. Generally, it said Asia-Pacific (excluding China) economic growth eased in early 2022 after the rebound in 2021. The slowdown was most pronounced in Hong Kong and least visible in Malaysia. “Government policy has impacted inflation in the country. While energy price inflation generally remains high, that is not so in Malaysia and Indonesia. The two economies are net energy exporters and are not passing on some of the energy commodity cost increases to consumers,” S&P said. Malaysia’s inflation, which was 2.5% in 2021, is estimated to inch up to 2.9% for 2022, 2.2% for 2023, and 2.3% for 2024 and 2025. The rise in inflation has led central banks in Australia, India, Malaysia, and the Philippines to join others in starting to normalise monetary policy. Still, consumer inflation has generally not risen as much as in the US and Europe. Core CPI pressures have only started picking up recently since the post-Covid recovery in domestic demand has been more muted. It expects the ringgit to hover at 4.32 against the US dollar this year, 4.22 for 2023, 4.12 for 2024 and 4.04 for 2025 (Sunbiz, 2022).

Figure 2 Survey on economic conditions (McKinsey & Company, 2022)

However, in the latest McKinsey Global Survey on economic conditions, respondents most often cite inflation as a risk over the next year (Figure 2). They are now nearly half as likely as they were in the previous survey to cite geopolitical issues as a risk to their countries’ economies. However, geopolitical conflicts and instability remain an outsize concern in Europe, where 50 percent list it among their top risks. But even in Europe, inflation is the risk cited most often—as it is in every geography except Greater China. There, respondents most often point to the COVID- 19 pandemic (McKinsey & Company, 2022).
