Top Story: WCT ' Still hopeful on RM2bn contract wins in FY12/11                Market Perform

Macro View
 
GDP: Real GDP bounced back strongly to +5.8% yoy in the 3Q, but outlook darkens
Economic Highlights (published 18 Nov)
''       Real GDP growth bounced back strongly to expand by 5.8% yoy in the 3Q, from +4.0% in the 2Q. This was boosted partly by significantly higher-than-expected public consumption and as industrial activities normalised after Japan 's earthquake disruption to supply chain receded. This was aided by an improvement in crude oil production, after a hiccup in the production of a major oil field was resolved in May. A pick-up in consumer spending also helped, while real export growth inched up moderately during the quarter.
