马来西亚的经济增长放缓但仍超出预期，因为人工智能热潮继续推动出口，而国内需求保持韧性。
Malaysia’s economic growth slowed but still exceeded expectations as the artificial intelligence boom continued to bolster exports and domestic demand remained resilient.
马来西亚统计局周五发布的初步估计显示，截至9月的三个月内，国内生产总值同比增长5.3%，高于彭博调查中5.1%的中位数预测。然而，第三季度增长较前一三个月的6%扩张有所放缓。
Gross domestic product rose 5.3% in the three months through September from a year earlier, according to advance estimates from the Department of Statistics Malaysia on Friday, beating the 5.1% median prediction in a Bloomberg survey. Third quarter growth, however, slowed from the 6% expansion in the previous three-month period.
统计局在一份声明中表示，第三季度增长得益于大多数经济部门的积极表现。仅采矿和采石业出现收缩，该局补充道。
Third quarter growth was underpinned by positive performance across most economic sectors, the department said in a statement. Only the mining and quarrying sector contracted, it added.
这一好于预期的数据凸显了马来西亚经济的韧性，尽管增长正从上半年的强势态势中回落。稳健的国内消费以及对用于人工智能的电子产品的需求，帮助这个依赖贸易的经济体抵御了美国对伊朗战争造成的冲击。
The better-than-expected reading underscores the resilience of Malaysia’s economy even as growth moderates from a strong first half. Robust domestic consumption and demand for electronics used in artificial intelligence have helped cushion the trade-dependent economy from disruptions caused by the US war against Iran.
统计局表示，服务业增长5.4%，受批发和零售贸易、信息和通信以及金融的推动。制造业增长7.5%，部分得益于出口导向型产业，尤其是电气和电子产品。
The services sector rose 5.4%, bolstered by wholesale and retail trade, information and communication as well as finance, the statistics department said. Manufacturing strengthened by 7.5%, backed in part by export-oriented industries, particularly electrical and electronic products.
马来西亚中央银行行长阿卜杜勒·拉希德·加富尔本周在接受采访时表示，经济今年可能增长约5%，该国多元化的增长来源有助于缓冲人工智能热潮可能出现的任何放缓。
Bank Negara Malaysia governor Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour said in an interview this week that the economy is likely to grow about 5% this year, with the nation’s diverse sources of growth helping cushion it against any slowdown in the AI boom.
统计局称，马来西亚经济在2026年前三个季度增长了5.5%，高于政府对全年的修订后增长预测4.8%-5.3%。政府本月将此前的4%-5%预测上调。
Malaysia’s economy grew 5.5% during the three quarters of 2026, the department said, above the government’s revised growth forecast of 4.8%-5.3% for the year. The government this month raised the forecast from 4%-5% previously.
家庭消费保持稳健，因为燃油补贴帮助消费者抵御了高昂的能源成本。首相安瓦尔·伊布拉欣本月早些时候还宣布，明年将提供更多现金援助并提高最低工资，以缓解生活成本压力。
Household spending remains firm, as fuel subsidies helped shield consumers from elevated energy cost. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim earlier this month also announced more cash aid and a higher minimum wage for next year to ease cost-of-living pressures.
政府预计马来西亚经济将在2027年实现4.2%-5.2%的增长，这一增长将得到国内需求持续和投资活动的支撑。
The government expects Malaysia’s economy to grow at 4.2%-5.2% in 2027, supported by sustained domestic demand investment activity.
初步GDP数据将于11月18日公布，该数据将对第三季度进行详细分析。
Preliminary GDP data, which will provide a detailed analysis of the third quarter, will be released on Nov. 18.
