Malaysia’s growth set to surpass 5% this year, minister says


Malaysia’s growth is set to sustain last year’s pace and exceed 5% in 2025, as strong foreign direct investments and support from local funds shield the economy from any global risks, Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said.

The country is already on a positive track, with the government likely beating last year’s deficit target of 4.3% of gross domestic product, Amir said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin. The government plans to narrow the gap further to 3.8% of GDP this year.
