Malaysia's industrial output growth eased to a 10-month low in January amid a contraction in the mining sector, figures from the Department of Statistics showed on Wednesday.
Industrial production increased 2.1 percent year-on-year in January, slower than the 4.6 percent increase in the previous month. Production has been rising since January 2024.
Further, this was the weakest growth since March last year, when production had risen the same 2.1 percent.
