Domestically, while targeted containment measures could weigh on growth, the impact will be less severe than in 2Q20
Most economic sectors allowed to operate, subject to SOPs
The current targeted mobility restriction primarily aimed to minimise social interactions
The nation is more prepared to adapt to SOPs
Households and businesses able to adjust more quickly to recent mobility restrictions
Policy responses in place to support the economy
Accommodative monetary policy, continued assistance to vulnerable segments, cash transfers to affected households are gaining traction in supporting the economy

Deflation is the persistent and broad-based decline in prices, distinct from a temporary period of negative inflation
Current assessments
Inflation dynamics Inflation expectations Contained pressures from wider economic environment
• Price declines in the CPI basket is not pervasive (3Q 2020: 16% of items; 2010-2018 average: 22%)
• Short- to medium-term inflation expectations are well anchored
• No unusual inflation uncertainty
Negative inflation due to lower global oil prices is not unique to Malaysia
Some countries in the region have also had similar experiences

In a nutshell…
Malaysia’s GDP growth improved significantly in the third quarter.
Going into 2021, growth will rebound supported by a pick up in global demand and normalisation in domestic economic activities
Downside risks to growth remain, with the pace and strength of recovery subject to developments surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic globally and domestically.
Policy measures and assistance will continue to support both businesses and households
While the targeted CMCO could weigh on growth, the impact will be less severe
