Subdued Growth To Extend Into 2017 On Sluggish Exports The fragile global economic growth, coupled with the headwinds, suggests that the global economy and Malaysia’s exports are susceptible to an unfolding of any unfortunate event, which could more than offset the modest improvement in domestic demand. On balance, we expect Malaysia’s real GDP to sustain at a subdued pace of 4.0% in 2017, from +3.9% estimated for this year.
