Practical education on Malaysia’s inflation landscape, from CPI methodology to real-world economic monitoring
Learn how the Department of Statistics Malaysia constructs the Consumer Price Index basket—covering everything from food and transport to housing and healthcare. We walk you through the actual product categories tracked, how DOSM conducts monthly price surveys across 14 states, and why certain items carry more weight in the final calculation. You’ll understand the complete process from data collection to index release.
Confused by different inflation numbers in the news? This workshop breaks down the distinction between headline inflation (which includes volatile items like fuel and food) and core inflation (the underlying trend). You’ll see why BNM (Bank Negara Malaysia) pays close attention to core inflation for policy decisions, and how to interpret economic reports with confidence.
Understand how Malaysia’s central bank monitors inflation and uses CPI data to guide monetary policy decisions. We explain the inflation targeting framework, how BNM sets interest rates in response to price pressures, and what the latest CPI figures mean for your purchasing power and financial planning. Perfect for professionals, investors, and anyone wanting to connect inflation data to real economic policy.
Start from the basics if you’re new to inflation concepts. This foundational program covers what inflation actually is, how it’s measured globally versus in Malaysia, and why the CPI basket composition matters for everyday spending. We use real Malaysian examples—grocery prices, rent trends, fuel costs—to make abstract concepts practical and relevant.
