Malaysia's economic growth forecast for 2013 dipped to 4.4%

Investment growth likely to suffer from delays.

According to Credit Suisse, the Malaysian government's decision to place greater emphasis on the budget position means that fiscal policy will become less accommodative – with higher fuel prices eroding consumer spending power and postponement of some infrastructure projects capping the overall investment growth.

As such, Credit Suisse has cut its 2013 GDP growth forecast to 4.4% from 5% earlier and 2014 estimate to 5% from 5.2% earlier – both these numbers are below the consensus expectations

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
