KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 — Malaysia's economy grew 4.8 per cent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, official advance estimates showed today, slower than in the previous three-month period.
Malaysia's full-year economic growth is expected to come in at 5.1 per cent in 2024, the statistics department said in a statement.
In the third quarter, gross domestic product expanded 5.3 per cent, slowing from an 18-month high in the second quarter as a drop in oil and gas output offset a surge in investment activity and resilient household spending.
Final fourth-quarter and 2024 GDP figures are expected to be released on February 14.
