Malaysia’s producer prices climbed 9.2% year-on-year in June 2026, accelerating from a 7.8% increase in May and marking the fourth consecutive month of growth.
It was also the strongest annual rise since June 2022, as producer cost pressures intensified amid supply disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict.
Manufacturing prices accelerated sharply (7.2% vs. 3.5% in May), driven by higher costs for coke & refined petroleum products (30.1%) and computer, electronic & optical products (8.3%).
The agriculture sector remained resilient (9.1% vs. 8.9%), supported by fishing (12.5%) and perennial crops (10.8%).
Utilities also posted solid gains, with water supply (10.2% vs. 10.0%) and electricity & gas (12.7% vs. 11.2%) continuing to strengthen.
Meanwhile, mining growth slowed markedly (29.0% vs. 52.6%), although crude petroleum extraction remained robust (40.7%).
On a monthly basis, the producer price index rose 0.6%, easing from a 1.1% increase in May.
