Malaysia: The economy surged by 6.2
per cent in the third quarter and is on track to meet the growth projections
for 2017 said Bank Negara Malaysia governor Tan Sri Muhammad Ibrahim.
The stellar quarterly growth was last
seen in the second quarter of 2014.
The latest growth number came on the
back of robust private sector spending and continued strength in exports.
"Given the continued strong
growth, the economy is on track to register the upper end of 5.2 -5.7 per cent
growth projection this year, "he told a media briefing this morning.
The first three quarters recorded an
average 5.9 per cent year-on-year growth, he said.
Growth prospects continue to be
supported by new and ongoing implementation of infrastucture projects and
improvement in growth of Malaysia's key trading partners.
The robust growth in the third
quarter stemmed from expansion across all economic sectors.
On the supply side, services and
manufacturing sectors remained the key drivers of growth.
Private consumption expanded by 7.2
per cent and Muhammad attributed it to improving employment conditions and
private sector wage growth.
The headline inflation dropped to 3.8
per cent in the third quarter from 4.3 per cent and 4.0 per cent in the first
and second quarters respectively.
" It will record between 3 and 4
per cent growth this year, depending on oil prices."
It is expected to lower further in
2018.
