KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will be launching the mid-term review of the 11th Malaysia Plan (11MP) 2016-2020 in Parliament on Thursday. The report will likely entail the mid-term achievements of the 11MP, as well as priorities going forward by the new government. Malaysian Industrial Development Finance Bhd chief economist Dr Kamarudin Nor expects recalibration and realignment of the initial goals and objectives in the mid-term review against what had been achieved in the last two-and-a-half years. On the stock market perspective, Hermana Capital Bhd chief executive officer and chief investment officer Datuk Dr Nazri Khan Adam Khan said the 11MP mid-term review would provide the added boost to regain investors' confidence, especially foreign investors. The 11-MP reaffirms the government's commitment to a vision of growth, anchored on the prosperity and wellbeing of the people towards realising Vision 2020 and a comprehensive development.
