Malaysia GDP rose 5.9% in 2017

This was highly driven by private sector demands.

The Central Bank of Malaysia reported that the country’s GDP increased from 4.2% in 2016 to 5.9% last year.

According to the Central Bank, the increase was mainly due to high private consumption, increasing by 7% in Q4 for the year because of growth in employment and wages, as well as high private investments, which rose to 9.2% because of positive business sentiments and strong investment intentions.

Meanwhile, services and manufacturing sectors drove growth on the supply side during the fourth quarter last year.

Further, headline inflation eased from 2.1% in 2016 to 3.7% in 2017, which was due to lower prices in housing, water, electricity and gas, and transport categories.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
