Malaysian manufacturing sinks 25.5pc in June
Al l’, Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia's manufacturing sales, a key driver of the economy, dived 25.5 percent year on year in June, according to official data released Tuesday.
The government's statistic department said the poor figures were led by a heavy fall in the iron and steel sector as well as plastics manufacturing due to lower demand caused by the world economic slowdown.
The number of people employed in the manufacturing sector, which accounts for about a third of Malaysia's gross domestic product, dropped 7.8 percent from the same period a year ago, the department said.
Revised May manufacturing figures showed sales plunged 25.6 percent year-on-year.
Malaysia has said its economy is likely to contract by 4.0-5.0 percent this year, despite a massive 16.2 billion dollar stimulus package unveiled in March, after the economy shrank 6.2 percent in the first quarter.
Last week, the International Monetary Fund said the country had been hit hard by the global economic crisis but sound policies had positioned it to cope with the downturn.
Hong Kong's unemployment remains at 5.4pc

Hong Kong's unemployment remained at 5.4 percent between May and July this year, official data showed TUesday, although the government warned the figure may rise as graduates enter the labour market.
The seasonally adjusted jobless rate was the same as that recorded for the April-June period and beat a median 5.5 percent forecast of 10 economists surveyed earlier by Dow Jones Newswires.
The number of jobless increased by around 10,800 to 213,800 in the three months ending July, while the workforce increased by around 9,800 to an all-time high of 3,719,000, according to the Census and Statistics Department.
Matthew Cheung, Secretary for labour and Welfare, said in a statement that while the labour market has displayed resilience amid the economic climate, unemployment may rise as school leavers and graduates enter the job market.
Business sentiment remained cautious while employers were still hiring conservatively, he said.
"Although the labour market showed signs of stabilisation in the second quarter in tandem with the improvements on both domestic and external fronts, the unemployment rate will continue to face upward pressure, " he said. Survey gives German economy extra boost

A survey suggesting soaring investor confidence provided more cheer for the German economy on Tuesday, less than a week after data showed its worst recession in decades ending sooner than expected.
The closely watched ZEW index rose 16.6 points to reach a three-year high of 56.1 points, smashing expectations by economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires of an increase to 47.3 points.
Positive growth figures for German gross domestic product (GDP) in the second quarter have improved financial experts' assessments of economic conditions," the ZEW said.
"Another rise in industrial orders and exports growing again are brightening Germany's economic prospects. As a result, business expectations for all sectors, in particular for exporters, have noticeably improved," it said.
Last Thursday, official data showed GDP growing 0.3 percent in the second quarter from the previous quarter, the first expansion in Europe's biggest economy since the first three months of2008.
South African economy shrinks 3pc in Q2

South Africa's economy shrank by 3.0 percent during the second quarter of 2009, dimming hopes of an early recovery from the country's first recession since apartheid, the government said on Tuesday.
According to Statistics SA, the main contributors to the slowdown were the manufacturing industry, which contracted 1.6 percent, followed by wholesale and retail trade, finance and real estate.
In May, Africa's biggest economy entered recession for the first time in 17 years, as the country's industries were pounded by the global downturn.
The second quarter result, however, marked an improvement from the first quarter, when the economy shrank by 6.4 percent.
The second quarter data came in near market expectations.
