“This is followed by restaurant and accommodation services, 2.9% (February 2025: 3.5%); housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, 1.9% (February 2025: 2.3%); alcoholic beverages and tobacco, 0.8% (February 2025: 0.9%) and furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance, 0.2% (February 2025: 0.3%),” he said in a statement today. 

Mohd Uzir said that inflation for education (2.2%) and recreation, sport and culture (1.7%) recorded a higher increase as compared to February 2025. 

“Meanwhile, food and beverages (2.5%), insurance and financial services (1.5%), health (1.0 [er cent) and transport (0.7%), increased at the same rate as recorded in the previous month. 

“In addition, information and communication and clothing and footwear remained at a negative territory, registering -5.4% and -0.2%, respectively,” he added. – April 23, 2025
