KUALA LUMPUR (May 10): Malaysia’s industrial output rose at a faster-than-expected pace in March from a year earlier with the manufacturing sector leading broad gains, official data released on Friday showed.

The industrial production index - which measures output from factories, mines, and power plants - climbed 2.4% in March compared to the same month in 2023. That was better than the median 1.9% increase predicted in a Bloomberg poll of economists but slower than February’s 3.1% year-on-year growth.
