Strong potential seen in further transformation
One and a half years have passed since the 14th general election in May last year, when Malaysia's first-ever change of administration was realized. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who has taken the helm of government for the second time, the new administration has conducted various activities with a particular focus on fiscal reconstruction and elimination of corruption. While government debt will not meet its target ratio to gross domestic product, it will decrease from 3.7 percent in 2018 to 3.4 percent in 2019. The government is also working to maximize transparency in administrative procedures. With the inflation rate reduced to around 1 to 2 percent, the Malaysian economy is steadily growing at an annual rate in the range of nearly 5 percent, supported by domestic consumption.
