Malaysia stands by GDP forecast despite World Bank's estimates, says Ahmad Maslan

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia stands by its forecast for the country's gross domestic product (GDP) at between 4% and 5% in 2023, says Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.

"We respect the World Bank's analysis. But we will keep our forecast at around 4% to 5%, as there has been no change in terms of the projections or if there's any big growth expected this year," he said.
