Malaysian Economic Outlook
The Malaysian economy is expected to grow at a moderate pace for this year as well as for the next year after recording better-than expected growth last year. Real GDP is projected to grow at 5.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) this year and is expected to further moderate to a range of 4.8 - 5.3% next year, after recording 5.9% growth last year. Domestic demand continues to be the engine of growth, growing by 5.8% y-o-y, and further reinforced by upbeat export demand. The growth in domestic demand, in turn, is largely attributed to private consumption. While, public spending as well as investment growth for this year, private and public, is expected to moderate. This is partly due to the government commitment to address the issue of high public debt amid a reduction in revenues causing by the decision to zero-rate goods and services tax (GST). The new elected government has also decided to review selected big-ticket investments in its effort to reduce public debt.
