KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Malaysia's economy in
the fourth quarter grew 7% from a year earlier on continued
expansion in domestic demand and resilient demand for electrical
and electronics goods, Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Nor
Shamsiah Mohd Yunus said on Friday.
Gross domestic product (GDP) for all of 2022 had been 8.7%
higher than in 2021, she said.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected the central bank
to report October-December GDP 6.6% higher than in the same
period of 2021, slowing from the 14.2% annual growth seen in the
third quarter.
