IT wasn’t the best of years for FBM KLCI, which fell short of the targets for 2024. Still, analysts remain optimistic about the outlook for Malaysia’s stock market, with favourable projections again for the benchmark index in 2025.
The FBM KLCI, which closed 2024 at 1,642.33 points – a gain of 187.67 points, or 12.9%, from the start of that year – fell short of analysts’ average projection of 1,700 points. However, it is expected to experience steady growth in 2025, supported by a strong domestic economy, ongoing structural reforms, and promising foreign investments.
