The Malaysian Economy: More Speed Bumps Ahead?

The IMF’s World Economic Outlook Update, January 2012, notes that the global recovery is threatened by intensifying strains in the euro area and fragilities elsewhere. It projects global output to expand by 31⁄4 per cent in 2012, a downward revision of about 3⁄4 percentage point relative to the September 2011 World Economic Outlook. It also expects growth in emerging and developing economies to slow because of the worsening external environment and a weakening internal demand.

Against such a backdrop, what are the prospects for near- term growth of the Malaysian economy? Will domestic demand be able to continue to buffer the Malaysian economy from the headwinds of global economic developments? Will the expected slowdown in Malaysia’s GDP growth be mildly uncomfortable, or painful? What are the chances of inflationary pressures building up? What about unemployment?

MIER’s Corporate Economic Briefing is a forum for discussing these and other issues of concern to the Malaysian economy. We will be presenting the results of the first quarter 2012 Business Conditions and Consumer Sentiment Surveys during the briefing. The results of MIER’s other four industry surveys covering automotive, residential property, retail trade and tourism will also be presented.

Targeted at senior management and industry captains, the briefing provides a platform for frank discussions and debates. Come join us and keep abreast of the latest happenings in the Malaysian economy. Attendance is limited and will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
