Targets achievable despite likely slower GDP

Economists opined that the government would likely need to provide additional fiscal and monetary support to bolster growth.

PETALING JAYA: While Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to slow as it approaches the second half of 2025, it is supported by targeted fiscal policies, prudent fiscal management and economic diversification efforts, say experts.

Economist Geoffrey Williams said although the growth forecasts are slower, the economy is still growing and government revenues as well as spending are sound.
