Price Declines Recorded in Specific Service Sectors During Q4 2025

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Malaysia's Services Producer Price Index (SPPI) saw price declines in the arts, entertainment, and recreation sector, as well as a slight decrease in the information and communication sector. These movements contrast with the overall one per cent increase in the SPPI for the quarter, which maintained the same rate of growth for the third consecutive quarter.
Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation Sector Experienced a Significant Drop

The arts, entertainment, and recreation index registered a notable decline of 3.8 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2025. This marks a reversal from a slight increase of 0.4 per cent observed in the preceding quarter.
Information & Communication Sector Saw a Marginal Decrease

Concurrently, the information and communication index recorded a slight decrease of 0.1 per cent during the fourth quarter of 2025. This indicates a minor contraction in producer prices within this sector.
Overall Services Producer Price Index Showed Growth

Despite these declines in specific sectors, the broader Services Producer Price Index for Malaysia increased by one per cent in the fourth quarter of 2025. This overall growth was underpinned by increases in other service activities, such as accommodation, food and beverage services, and transportation.
