Coincident Index
Data as of 30 Nov 2022, 23:59The Coincident Index is a comprehensive measure of the overall current economic performance.
How is this data produced?
Data for the compilation of Composite and Diffusion Indexes is obtained from the Department of Statistics Malaysia and the following agencies: (i) Ministry of Housing and Local Government (MHLG); (ii) Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM); (iii) Road Transport Department (RTD); (iv) Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA); and (v) Employees Provident Fund (EPF).
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
The Coincident Index does not represent the level of the current economic situation. Thus it should not be interpreted as the level of current monthly Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The economic indicators are unable to take into account internal or/and external shocks to the economy.
