0931 GMT - Malaysia's central bank may keep its policy rate at 3.00% throughout 2025, supported by stable growth and manageable inflation, RHB economist Chin Yee Sian says in a note. She says domestic demand, rising wages and multiyear investment projects could drive growth, though external risks, including trade tensions and global supply chain disruptions, add uncertainties. Chin maintains her 2025 GDP growth forecast at 5.0% and inflation at 2.4%. The ringgit may stay volatile in the near term amid tariff tensions, but could stabilize in 2H, supported by fiscal improvements and a narrowing interest-rate differential with the U.S., she adds.(yingxian.wong@wsj.com)
