THE measures introduced by the United States recently to boost its economy are expected to have a positive impact on the Malaysian economy by next year, Deputy Finance Minister 1 Datuk Dr Shafie Mohd Salleh said.
The package introduced by the US is expected to boost consumer spending and this will benefit Malaysia as the US is our major export market. Hopefully, it will also help boost further the KLSE, he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur yesterday after witnessing an agreement signing between PUC Founder (MSC) Bhd and Yayasan Bekas Perajurit Wilayah Persekutuan.
