Malaysia will not face BOP crisis

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will not face a balance of payments (BOP) crisis as the country has been consistently registering current account surpluses, says Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Deputy Governor Datuk Marzunisham Omar.

He said the central bank also expects the country to record another round of current account balance surplus this year, thanks to earnings from tourism and higher returns from exports versus imports.
