PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia’s economic growth during the third quarter of this year is among the fastest in the Asian region, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan today. He said this puts Malaysia ahead of countries like Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea and Taiwan in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. He said unsurprisingly, private consumption registered its strongest performance since 2015 by recording a 7.2 per cent growth. Solid economic growth will sustain the creation of more jobs, increase the people’s income and improve their wellbeing and quality of life. “The government, under the leadership of the prime minister, will keep working to bring development and economic growth to the people.”
