malaysia on track to recovery good long term property investment
News Posted On: 28 August 2009
Malaysia's Prime Minister Mohamed Najib has said that the country is on track for recovery, after it was revealed that the contraction in Malaysia's GDP had slowed massively from minus 6.2% in the first quarter, to minus 3.9% in the second quarter. None the less Malaysia's economy has still contracted 5.1% in the first half of this year.
"I think the worst is over. We have turned around the corner," Najib commented on the second quarter figures.
Bank Negara Malaysia Governor, Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz, in announcing the figures attributed the smaller contraction to higher public spending and positive growth in private consumption.
"The two stimulus packages have actually contributed to the performance of the Malaysian economy," added Najib, who is also Finance Minister.
Malaysia became very popular with overseas property investors a couple of years ago, and remained popular last year. However, its investment potential was, and always will be very much rooted in its emergence as an economic giant.
Therefore, it is necessary that Malaysia can get back onto the path of rapid economic growth once again if it is to see anywhere near as much activity from foreign property investors.
That said: almost every country in the world is in recession. Malaysia has still got masses of economic growth potential, and if you look at the country as a destination for property investment over the long-term then it is still very rewarding -- especially given the kind of bargains you can currently pick up in the country.
