Malaysian economy booming
KUALA LUMPUR. June 9: Malaysia's booming economy is expected to show a first quarter growth rate of at least nine per cent when figures for the January to March period arc released, a report Monday quoted a top official as saying, reports AFP.
Jaffar Hussein. Governor of Bank Negara. the central bank, was quoted aa saying that Gross Domestic Product (OOP) growth averaged 9.2 per cent in the first two months of the year, despite sluggish conditions worldwide.
The forecast of 8.5 to 8.7 per cent growth In OOP for 1992 la reasonable." he told the BusincM Times dally in an Interview.
Jaffar brushed aside criticism by tome private-sector economists that the Malaysian economy, which grew by 9.8 per cent In 1990 and 8.8 per cent last year, may be over-hcatlng and headed for a crash tf the government did not case bottlenecks quickly.
He said the central bank's growth projection for this year was a natural rate based on a strong growth momentum, adding that economic expansion could be higher if not for tighter monetary policy to curb consumption and inflation.
Jaffar said that the Malaysian economy was expected to benefit from the improving performance of devel-
oped countries which buy Malaysian products.
"Monetary policy will ensure that the high growth will not result tn high inflation," he said.
Jaffar said that while the current level of Inflation of about 4 5 per cent was relatively low "we should aim for a lower rate of about two or three per cent."
The buoyant forecast was based on record government approvals for new private investments coming on stream and higher public spending to expand Infrastructure. Jaffar said.
Though the Inflow of foreign Investments was slowing, some 68.2 billion dollar (27.3 billion US) had been locked In from the large number of projects approved over the past two to three years, he added.
He said that It look between two and two and a half years before a project approved by the government was fully implemented.
"After taking into account the delay In project Implementation and the amount of approvals in the past, our forecast Is for aggregate private Investment to moderate to about 15 per cent In nominal terms in 1992," Jaffar said.
