Former Governor, Bank Negara Malaysia

Search every verified Nor Yunus interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus, Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia, stated in late 2023 that Malaysia would not enter a recession, citing continued global economic growth, a recovering labor market, and strong domestic demand. She noted that the International Monetary Fund had upgraded its growth outlook and that factors such as tourism recovery and investment activity were sufficient to offset a moderation in exports. She projected Malaysia's economy would grow by four to five percent in 2023, with headline and core inflation averaging between 2.8 and 3.8 percent. On regional financial cooperation, Nor Shamsiah said an Asian Monetary Fund "could be the next step" in strengthening regional financial stability. She noted that Malaysia has been a pioneer in promoting the use of local currency for trade and investment settlement, including a swap agreement with the People's Bank of China. She also dismissed suggestions to peg the ringgit to the US dollar, arguing that a flexible exchange rate buffers the economy from external shocks and preserves monetary policy independence, while a peg would carry substantial risks and costs.
