KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's economic growth may surpass the official estimates of between 5.3 and 6.3 per cent in 2022 as the country saw faster growth in the second quarter at 8.9 per cent and expected strong performance in the third quarter.

Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz said Malaysia is likely to chart even stronger growth in the third quarter despite facing a weaker global economy as well as the rising US dollar.
