KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is well-positioned to manage potential economic fallout from escalating conflict in the Middle East, backed by its status as a net energy exporter and strong economic fundamentals, Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said.
He said the country's position as a net energy exporter provides a buffer against volatility in global oil markets, even as geopolitical developments could push crude prices higher.
