Malaysia’s economic growth slows in Q4, still beats estimates
Malaysia’s economic growth slowed to 4.5% in the final quarter of 2015 from a growth rate of 4.7% in the third quarter, although the country’s fourth quarter growth rate still beat economists’ estimates, which called for a 4.3% growth rate in a survey by Bloomberg. In 2015, the Malaysian economy expanded 5%, slower than the 6% expansion in the previous year while it met the government’s growth estimates ranging between 4.5%-5.5%.
