Malaysia maintains 4-5% GDP growth for 2023: Ahmad Maslan

This is in contrast to the World Bank’s findings that growth would stabilise at 3.9%

3:40 PM MYT

 

KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia is maintaining its 2023 gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast of 4-5%, according to Deputy Finance Minister I, Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan. 

“The Finance Ministry has not made any changes with regard to the economic growth projection for this year.

“However, we do appreciate the World Bank’s statement as the statement was based on its own analysis, and we respect their findings,” he said to reporters after launching the Malaysia-China Entrepreneur Macro Health Forum 2023 today.

According to the World Bank, Malaysia’s economic growth is expected to moderate to 3.9% in 2023 from an earlier projection of 4.3% in April this year, amid a substantial deceleration of external demand.

It said that domestic demand would continue to support Malaysia’s economic resilience this year, but noted that limited fiscal space remained a key challenge for the economy. – October 3, 2023
