Property, construction sectors to gain from stimulus

MEASURES to be announced by the government in the much-awaited stimulus package to bolster the economy from the ill effects of the Iraq war will be a shot in the arm for the property and construction sectors, according to Economic Planning Unit macroeconomics and evaluation senior director Datuk Dr Victor Wee. 

He said the two sectors were very sensitive to any upswing or downturn in the country's economic performance and additional measures by the government to boost the economy would augur well for these sectors.
