Nor Shamsiah: Economy will gain from the easing of restrictions. — Bernama

WITH the economy expected to improve further this year, no changes were made by the central bank to the country’s annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth projection of between 5.3% and 6.3% that was announced in March.

Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Nor Shamsiah Mohd Yunus says the projection was underpinned by stronger domestic demand, continued expansion in external demand, and further improvement in the labour market.
