Malaysia economy grows 6.4 pct in fourth quarter
Malaysia said Wednesday the economy grew a faster-than-expected
6.4 percent in the latest quarter, its best showing in more than two years and
a likely boost for the government as elections near.
The central bank, Bank Negara, also said in a statement that
Southeast Asia's third-largest economy rose 5.6 percent for full-year 2012, exceeding
an earlier government forecast of 5.0 percent.
The 6.4 percent growth in the fourth quarter of 2012 was up
from a 5.2 percent expansion achieved in the same quarter the previous year due
to steady domestic demand, Bank Negara.
