Higher Malaysian GDP growth seen in Q4

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2018 (Q4’18) could accelerate for the first time in a year, after the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth continued to slow down after the third quarter of 2017.

However, the pace of growth for the October-to-December 2018 period may only be marginally higher than the Q3’18 GDP growth of 4.4%, according to pundits.
