KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 — Malaysia’s economic fundamentals are still strong and its growth prospect for the medium term is still bright, supported by a stable capital market, while the financial sector has ample liquidity and capital buffer, said Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said among the issues raised by the Members of Parliament during the Special Parliament Meeting were whether the investors’ confidence was affected following the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA brief answer, no. Foreign investor confidence (is) still intact on Malaysia’s economic recovery prospects. Last month, international rating agencies\u00a0such as\u00a0Standard & Poor’s and\u00a0Moody\u2019s Investors Service gave ratings of A- and A3 respectively to Malaysia,\u201d he said in the 63rd Implementation and Coordination Unit Between National Agencies (LAKSANA) report today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, Fitch Ratings also maintained Malaysia’s rating at BBB+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuch ratings are not given simply, especially not for a country that is considered a ‘failed’ state. Historically, the level of foreign direct investment (FDI) and business environment in the country remains stable amid the current political landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor instance, the government transition was done peacefully and orderly in 2018, while despite the political polemics in 2020, Budget 2021 was approved by the Parliament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
