Malaysia Brunei at a Glance: 2000-01 COUNTRY REPORT Malaysia Brunei At a glance: 2000-01 OVERVIEW Political divisions in Malaysia have widened since the November 1999 general elections. The prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, is having little success in bolstering the moderate, progressive Islamic credentials of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the dominant party of the coalition. The deepening split in the Malay ethnic community could result in political and racial polarisation and undermine Malaysia's stability. Economic growth is slowing but also becoming more stable. Year on year GDP growth of 11.9% in the first quarter was followed by 8.8% in the second quarter. Real GDP growth will continue to be heavily dependent on private consumption and capital investment, and is forecast to reach 8.6% this year, slowing to 7.3% in 2001. Key changes from last month Political outlook • Dr Mahathir looks more likely to crack down on the increasingly popular opposition Parti Islam sa-Malaysia (PAS), a move which could easily prove counter-productive. Economic policy outlook • The budget for 2001, to be revealed towards the end of October, is likely to contain incentives to stimulate investment and consolidate the impressive economic recovery. Economic forecast • A pick-up in foreign investment applications around the middle of the year and a sharp rise in capital investment recorded in the second-quarter GDP figures suggests that our GDP growth forecast of 8.6% this year and 7.3% for 2001 may be conservative.

The deepening split in the main ethnic community could result in political and racial polarisation and undermine Malaysia’s stability. Since the previous Country Report, we have raised our real GDP growth forecast for 2000 from 8.3% to 8.6% but lowered the outlook for 2001 slightly from 7.4% to 7.3%. The decline in the current-account surplus, which reached 16% of GDP in 1999, will be faster than previously forecast, dropping to 9% in 2000 and 4% in 2001, compared with previous forecasts of 11.6% and 7.5%. The political scene Political divisions in Malaysia have widened since the November 1999 general elections, in which almost half of the ethnic Malay voters supported opposition parties but the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, nonetheless, retained its two-thirds majority in parliament. Dr Mahathir has had little success in bolstering the moderate, progressive Islamic credentials of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the dominant party of the coalition. Economic policy The government is intending to consolidate the impressive economic recovery and will continue the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies. There is unlikely to be a change in the pegged exchange-rate regime in the near term. Important strategy documents are being prepared, such as the Eighth Malaysia Plan (2001-05) and a knowledge-economy masterplan, which will set out the longer-term economic course. The domestic economy Foreign investment applications picked up sharply around the middle of the year. GDP expanded by 8.8% year on year in second-quarter 2000 after growing by 11.9% in the preceding quarter. Investment growth accelerated sharply. Petronas posted an 85% increase, to M$12.6bn (US$3.3bn), in net profit for the 12 months to end-March 2000. Manufacturing production remained buoyant, rising 25.2% year on year in the April-June period. Electrical and electronic products were Malaysia’s largest export category, taking 57.8% of total exports during the first six months of the year, increasing 20.3% year on year, slightly ahead of total export revenue growth of 19.5% during the period. National carmaker, Proton, will not be allowed to be taken over by a foreign car manufacturer. The Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) will permit Malaysia to defer scheduled duty reductions on motor vehicles from 2003 to 2005. The glut of crude palm oil is getting worse. The government is working on a plan to streamline natural rubber production. Bank lending growth has remained low but the government is sticking to its year-end target date for EIU Country Report September 2000 © The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited 2000 4 consolidation of the banking sector. The Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE) has been hit by a bout of profit-taking; regulatory changes, such as shortening of the settlement period and easing of chain listing requirements, have been announced. The foreign shareholding in Malaysian Airline Systems (MAS) may be raised. Foreign trade and Malaysia’s trade surplus has begun to decline as imports continue to accelerate payments and export growth slows. Capital goods imports rose 50.7% year on year in June. A sharp widening of the income deficit reduced the current-account surplus in the fourth quarter of 1999. Brunei Outlook for 2000-01 The sultanate faces a delicate balancing act: how to reduce the overdependence on oil and gas-financed government spending, while maintaining firm control over Brunei’s citizens. Planned cuts in social services, new income taxes and increased privatisation are unlikely to be balanced by robust private-sector growth. Economic growth, officially estimated at 3% this year, is being boosted by the high oil price; the official 5-6% GDP target for 2001 does not look achievable. The political scene The Prince Jefri case has been settled out of court, removing the prince from the public eye and preventing further damage to the government’s reputation. With the case closed, the government appears to have retreated back from greater openness. Economic policy and the Petroleum production has been increased by 25% to help refill the Treasury, economy seriously depleted by Prince Jefri’s actions.

  • Malasia Malasia
    MALASIA MALASIA JUAN JOSÉ RAMÍREZ BONILLA VANESSA A. PROAÑO DOMÍNGUEZ El Colegio de México ECONOMÍA La economía malasia se apega al diagnóstico establecido por los analistas del FMI después del inicio de la crisis asiática: los indicadores macroeco- nómicos eran positivos; la excepción era un desequilibrio en la balanza de cuenta corriente, el cual era considerado por los analistas del FMI como el pro b lema macroeconómico mayor de Malasia y de los países asiáticos más afectados por la crisis del 97 (véase cuadro 1). En el caso malasio, ese déficit fue el resultado de la combinación de un superávit comercial permanente y un déficit crónico en la balanza de servicios. El desequilibrio negativo de la balanza de servicios, a su vez, se debió a un volumen importante de transferencias de capitales al exterior, bajo la forma de ingresos derivados del capital.1 Esta era la consecuencia natural del recurso al ahorro externo que había permitido cerrar la brecha existente entre inversión y ahorro. Los agentes económicos malasios, sin embargo, habían adoptado una actitud diferenciada con respecto al ahorro externo: • El gobierno federal restringió al máximo el recurso al ahorro exter- no: entre 1987 y 1996, la deuda externa del gobierno federal, medida con 1 Durante los noventa, dichas transferencias representaron entre el 4.45% (1990) y el 5.55% (1992); vistas desde otro ángulo,las transferencias crecieron a un ritmo superior al de la economía, excepto en 1993 y 1995. 363 364 ASIA PACÍFICO 2000 MALASIA 365 respecto a la deuda externa total del país (DETP), se redujo del 54.9% al 10.7%.
