2024年第三季度,马来西亚经济同比增长5.3%,与初步估计相符,但与上一季度5.9%的增长率相比有所放缓。经济放缓的原因是服务业(5.2%对第二季度的5.9%)和农业(3.9%对7.3%)的生产增长放缓,以及采矿和采石业的收缩(-3.9%对2.7%)。相比之下,制造业(5.6%对4.7%)和建筑业(19.9%对17.3%)的增长速度加快。在支出方面,私人消费放缓(4.8%对6%),而政府支出(4.9%对3.6%)和固定投资(15.3%对11.5%)的增长有所回升。净对外贸易也对国内生产总值产生了负面影响,进口增长了13.5%(对8.7%),而出口增长速度较慢,为11.8%(对8.4%)。经季节性调整的季度数据显示,GDP增长1.8%,低于上一季度的2.9%。
Malaysia’s economy expanded by 5.3% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2024, in line with preliminary estimates but easing from 5.9% growth in the previous quarter. The slowdown was attributed to a softer production growth in the services sector (5.2% vs. 5.9% in Q2) and agriculture (3.9% vs. 7.3%), and a contraction in mining & quarrying (-3.9% vs. 2.7%). In contrast, manufacturing (5.6% vs. 4.7%) and construction (19.9% vs. 17.3%) saw accelerated growth. On the expenditure side, private consumption moderated (4.8% vs. 6%), while growth picked up for government spending (4.9% vs. 3.6%) and fixed investments (15.3% vs. 11.5%). Net external trade also contributed negatively to GDP, as imports advanced 13.5% (vs. 8.7%), while exports rose at a slower pace of 11.8% (vs. 8.4%). On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, GDP expanded 1.8%, down from 2.9% in the prior quarter.
