Malaysian Economy expands by 4.1% in second quarter
(Thursday August 25, 2005). THE Malaysian economy expanded by 4.1% in the second quarter of this year compared with a growth of 5.8% in the first quarter but the central bank believes that full-year growth projection of between 5% and 6% is still achievable.
The rate of growth, which was below market expectations, was hampered by a high base effect, as the economy grew by 8.1% in the second quarter of last year.
“I would not draw a conclusion that we are in for a major economic slowdown,'' Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz said. Malaysia's growth prospects are tied closely to the economic performance of its major trading partners, which has so far showed some resistance to skyrocketing crude oil prices.
