Finance Ministry: Strong GDP growth continues to highlight Malaysia's resilience

"Indeed, Malaysia is one of the few economies in the region that experienced faster growth in the second quarter compared to the previous quarter," said Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng. Lim however said that while Malaysia's growth is encouraging, the government would not ignore the high risks associated with the escalating China-US trade war.

"The government's success in managing its finances prudently through its reforms over the past year will allow Malaysia to respond appropriately if required. The government is mindful of the weakening global demand and its effects on the domestic economy," he said.
