The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia’s (ACCCIM) Malaysia’s Business and Economic Conditions Survey (M-BECS) was conducted from 18 November 2024 to 15 January 2025, covering the second half-year of 2024 (Jul-Dec 2024) and expectations for the first half-year of 2025 (Jan-Jun 2025), has received 630 responses.

The survey is a good barometer to gauge Malaysian Chinese business community’s assessment and expectations about domestic business and economic conditions as well as their prospects.

It covers questions to measure expectations about the prospects of economic and business performance; the main factors affecting business performance; and to gauge the implications of current issues and challenges faced by businesses.

This survey report is collaborated with and prepared by the Socio-Economic Research Centre (SERC).
