KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s economy is on a solid track under Barisan Nasional (BN), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said last night.
“We have been able to buck the external global economic trend. In the last quarter, we achieved 6.4 per cent growth, which indicates the resilience of the national economy.
“I can quote you the statistics that indicate the strong resilience of our national economy,” said Najib, who is also Finance Minister, in the “Conversation with the Prime Minister” programme aired over TV3 last night.
“When we talk about benefits to the people from 2009 to 2011, our Gross National Income (GNI) per capita has grown from US$6,670 to US$9,970, roughly about 49 per cent. “There is no country in the world that has achieved this kind of result,” he said.
Najib said when the BN goes to the polls to seek a fresh mandate from the people, it was on the basis of a very solid track record. — Bernama
