Downside risks remain but economic growth intact, TA Securities says


TA Securities forecasts the FBM KLCI has a potential upside to peak at worst case upside of 1,706, base case upside of 1,766 or a best case upside of 1,863.

TA Securities Research maintained its full year gross domestic product (GDP) forecast of 6.4% as the government allowed five economic sectors to operate during this period.
