World Bank cuts 2015 Malaysia GDP forecast


PUTRAJAYA: The World Bank has cut its 2015 growth forecast for Malaysia’s economy to 4.7% from an earlier estimate of 4.9% on expectations of slower export growth and investments in the oil and gas industry as well as moderate private consumption next year.

The intergovernmental financial organisation, however, has maintained its expectations of a 5.7% gross domestic product (GDP) growth for Malaysia for 2014.
