Malaysia can achieve GDP growth target


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is still on track to achieve its gross domestic product (GDP) growth target of between 6.5% and 7.5% for 2021 despite a further extension of the movement control order (MCO 2.0), as the various stimulus packages and impending vaccine rollout will help steer the country towards recovery.

Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said Malaysia had learnt some “valuable lessons” following the implementation of the first MCO last year and is optimistic that the current lockdown will not be as detrimental.
