BANGKOK, Oct 19 — Malaysia’s message at the International Monetary Fund (IMF)-World Bank Group Annual Meetings here is clear: the country is back in business, backed by political stability, policy clarity and sustained reforms that are strengthening investor confidence amid global uncertainty.
Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said these factors had helped attract foreign direct investment (FDI), while Malaysia’s economy remained resilient despite geopolitical tensions and disruptions to global trade.
He said Malaysia recorded gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 5.2 per cent in each of the past two years, with growth reaching 5.7 per cent in the latest quarter, reflecting the resilience of its industries and their continued role in global supply chains.
