The Malaysian economy recorded a strong 5.6% growth rate in 2012 compared to the 5.1% growth rate in 2011. According to the Central Bank of Malaysia, the domestic demand registered 10.6% growth rate in 2012, higher than the 8.2% growth rate recorded in the preceding year. The strong growth rate is underpinned by stronger consumption and investment spending which outweighed the adverse impact due to the weak external environment.
