Malaysia’s producer price inflation eased for the fifth straight month in October to reach its lowest level in more than one-and-a-half years, largely due to a sharp fall in prices for the agriculture, forestry, and fishing segments, figures from the Department of Statistics showed on Wednesday.
Producer prices climbed 4.0 percent year-over-year in October, slower than the 4.9 increase in September.
Further, the latest PPI Inflation was the slowest since the current sequence of price growth began in February last year.
