KUALA LUMPUR, May 12 (Reuters) - Malaysia's economy in
the first quarter grew 5.6% from a year earlier due to an
expansion in private consumption and investments, central bank
and government data showed on Friday.
Economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast annual gross
domestic product growth would come in at 4.8% in the January to
March period, slowing from the 7% rise seen in the fourth
quarter of 2022.
