He said Malaysia’s economy grew moderately at 0.7 per cent in the first quarter of 2020 compared with 4.5 per cent in the same quarter last year, as the country’s gross domestic product has been affected by the pandemic and the subsequent implementation of the movement control order .

In 2019, a total of 1,025 business events were organised, which attracted over 540,000 international business travellers to Malaysia.
