Bank Negara: Economy healthier, growth broad based

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures underscore a trend where the economy is becoming healthier, with growth becoming more broad-based across sectors amid a firm trajectory.

"If earlier, the economic sectors experiencing a strong momentum revolved around the export-oriented manufacturing, the spill over from that trend is now becoming more entrenched across other sectors," said Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM).
