The average cost of medical benefits worldwide is expected to rise by 10.3% next year, following increases of 10% in 2025 and 9.5% in 2024. Asia-Pacific is forecast to record the steepest regional increase at 14% in 2026, up from 13.2% in 2025 and 11.8% in 2024, ahead of Latin America, North America, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. Within this environment, BNM is using RESET and the base MHIT plan to respond to affordability concerns, medical inflation, and coverage gaps in Malaysia’s private health insurance and takaful markets.

RESET aims to simplify products and realign incentives
RESET is described as a multi-year program to simplify medical products, increase price transparency, and better align incentives across the healthcare financing chain. The initiative is intended to make private cover easier to understand and more predictable, while supporting its interaction with the public system.
