0313 GMT - CGS International raises Malaysia's 2025 GDP growth forecast to 4.7% from 4.2% after 3Q advance estimates exceeded expectations, say economists Mas Aida Che Mansor and Nazmi Idrus in a note. Based on their channel checks, strong electronics growth could sustain into early 2026. Government efforts, including cash handouts in Aug. this year and Feb. next year, may support domestic spending, while tourist arrivals may continue to rise. Risks remain from one-off mining strength and reciprocal and sector specific tariffs, which could weigh on growth, they flag. For 2026, CGS maintains its GDP growth estimate at 4.6%.(yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
