The encouraging performance of Malaysia’s gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2019 provides positive impetus for the country’s future growth, as well as strengthening investors confidence in Malaysia’s economy, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.
“We hope everybody will now have faith just like foreign investors do and apparently they are not swayed by reports that may be less positive, as they have been investing more compared with past quarters,” he said.
