Malaysian economy: Glass half full or half empty

THE Malaysian economy is expected to face another tumultuous year in 2019 as it is being challenged by on-going domestic adjustments and rising external headwinds, particularly lingering uncertainties about the state of the US-China trade disputes and further tightening of the US interest rates.

Other global pressure points developing are the UK’s Brexit deal; the erratic movements of global oil prices, geopolitical and political risks.
