Malaysia among economies positioned to capture upside as Asean growth paths diverge

Malaysia is among the Southeast Asian economies positioned to capture disproportionate upside over the next decade, according to a recent report by Bain & Company, DBS Bank, and Vriens & Partners. The report, titled "From Tailwinds to Trade-Offs: Southeast Asia Outlook 2026-2035," projects Southeast Asia's six largest economies to grow by an average of 4.8% annually between 2026 and 2035.

While the regional growth outlook remains broadly intact, economic trajectories are diverging, with Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam identified as economies that could capture greater upside under more favourable conditions due to their exposure to manufacturing exports, semiconductor demand, and investment momentum.
