Addressing weak and contracting private investments


Here

PETALING JAYA: The government should seriously look into the causes of the subdued growth in private investments which, if not addressed, could affect the country’s long-term economic goals.

“Private investments should be a key priority for the government as its vitality is critical for sustaining our economic growth on a sustained basis, raise future growth potential, create high income jobs and increase exports,” Socio-Economic Research Centre (SERC) executive director Lee Heng Guie told StarBiz.
