Pulau Indah Power Plant Begins Operations in Malaysia
The highly anticipated Pulau Indah power plant in Selangor, Malaysia, has officially commenced operations. Powered by GE Vernova’s advanced H-Class gas turbine technology, this 1,200 MW facility is expected to provide electricity to approximately 2.5 million Malaysian homes, significantly strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure.
The project marks a significant step in Malaysia’s push for reliable and efficient power generation, ensuring stable electricity supply amid rising energy demands. Experts believe that this initiative will contribute to economic growth, industrial development, and sustainable energy management in the region.
Russia Holds Interest Rates Amid Inflation and Economic Uncertainty
The Russian central bank is set to keep its key interest rate unchanged despite rising inflation, which currently stands at 10.1%—well above the target of 4%. The decision comes as the country faces economic challenges, geopolitical tensions, and a widening budget deficit, which has grown to 1.3% of GDP in just the first two months of 2025.
While the rouble has shown a strong rally, the central bank insists that tight monetary policies are necessary to curb inflation and stabilize the economy. Analysts predict that future decisions will heavily depend on global financial trends, oil prices, and ongoing geopolitical risks.
