• Malaysia’s Producer Price recorded a slower decrease of 3.8 per cent in July 2025, from a 4.2 per cent decline in the previous month.

• The decline in July 2025 was mainly attributed to Mining and Manufacturing sectors, both experiencing downward trend since the beginning of the year. The Mining sector went down by 8.7 per cent (June 2025: -8.0%), dragged down by Extraction of crude petroleum (-9.8%) and Extraction of natural gas (-4.7%) indices. Similarly, the Manufacturing sector declined by 4.0 per cent (June 2025: -4.3%), due to declines in Manufacture of coke & refined petroleum products (-15.7%) and Manufacture of computer, electronic & optical products (-7.6%) indices. On the other hand, the Agriculture, forestry & fishing sector recorded an increase of 1.1 per cent (June 2025: -0.3%), supported by the Growing of perennial crops (3.1%) index. The Electricity & gas supply sector went up by 4.0 per cent (June 2025: -0.2%), while the Water supply sector posted a marginal decline of 0.1 per cent in July 2025.

• On a month-on-month basis, the PPI Local Production increased by 0.3 per cent in July 2025, after a 0.7 per cent decrease in the previous month. The Agriculture, forestry & fishing sector increased by 2.5 per cent (June 2025: -1.0%), contributed by the Growing of perennial crops (4.6%) index.

However, the Mining index remained unchanged in July 2025, after posting an increase of 4.6 per cent in the previous month. The Manufacturing index, on the other hand, recorded a marginal decrease of 0.1 per cent (June 2025: -1.2%), weighed down by the Manufacture of computer, electronic & optical products (-0.5%) and Manufacture of food products (-0.4%).

• All stages of processing recorded year-on-year declines in July 2025, extending the downward trend since March 2025. The Crude materials for further processing index contracted by 5.8 per cent, mainly due to the decrease in Non-food materials index (-7.0%). The Intermediate materials, supplies & components index posted a 3.7 per cent decline, due to sharp decline in Processed fuel & lubricants (-9.3%). Similarly, the Finished goods index went down by 2.4 per cent, primarily due to a downturn in Capital equipment (-3.9%).

• On a month-on-month basis, the Crude materials for further processing index recorded marginal increase of 0.8 per cent. Meanwhile, both, Intermediate materials, supplies & components index and Finished goods indices went up by 0.1 per cent.
