Malaysia's retail sales rose 6.6% year on year in June 2026, slowing from a 7.2% increase in May. The moderation reflected softer growth in non-specialised stores, other household equipment in specialised stores, automotive fuel in specialised stores, and food, beverages and tobacco in specialised stores. Offsetting part of that slowdown, sales accelerated for other goods in specialised stores and for information and communication equipment in specialised stores. On a month on month basis, retail sales edged up 0.2%, easing from a 1.3% increase in the previous month, indicating consumer spending continued to expand but at a more measured pace.
