Malaysian Institute of Economic Research head of research Shankaran Nambiar.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s Look East Policy with the inclusion of China will increase trading and investment cooperation between both countries, resulting in higher economic growth and revenue for Malaysia, the Malaysian Institute of Economic Research (MIER) said.

Economist Dr Shankaran Nambiar said this would narrow Malaysia’s fiscal gap and potentially make Malaysia the new hub for investment in Asean.
