Leslie Tang Growth Quotations

Pharmaceuticals and electronics will continue to drive growth. The services and construction sectors will also contribute.

Growth will continue to come from private spending, exports of electronics and commodities, and the boost from the Ninth Malaysia Plan.

Malaysia's exports have so far benefited from the recovery in global electronics demand, which has helped to boost economic growth in the third quarter. We expect exports to continue to accelerate in the last two months of the year.
