		While the world economic slowdown was more severe than expected and the unprecedented September 11 events in the United States had widespread implications for all economies, Malaysia was able to steer away from a major economic contraction and GDP growth for the year remained in positive territory.
		However, given the openness of its economy with trade accounting for about 200 percent of gross domestic products (GDP), Malaysia was not spared from the negative effects of the United States economic slowdown and global electronics downturn, These were manifested in declining manufacturing production and negative export growth, particularly of electronics.
		Malaysia, therefore, needs to ensure that the economic recovery gathers momentum and that the downside risks are minimized.

		In any event, Malaysia's recovery may also reflect the fact that its banks were relatively well regulated in the first place, and its more modest amount of foreign debt.

	Malaysia's Economy Will Continue To Grow - ADB.org (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Malaysian economy bounced back from a 7.5 percent contraction in 1998 to expand by 5.4 percent in 1999, according to the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
		The trade surplus in 1998 was driven by import compression, as imports declined much more sharply than exports but the 1999 surplus resulted from a higher initial level of exports as exports and imports expanded at similar rates.
		These include ongoing restructuring in the construction, manufacturing and financial sectors; the tendency for private companies to employ migrant workers as wage pressures begin to mount; and a loss of competitiveness in producing labor-intensive, low-value-added goods because of increased competition from countries with cheaper unskilled labor.

	An FTA for the Future by Ambassador Christopher J. LaFleur
		The U.S. has been Malaysia's number one foreign market and the number one source of investment for many years, so it seems clear that it would be in Malaysia's interest to reinforce this relationship as we in the Asia-Pacific region move into a new and more competitive era.
		A key thrust of the Plan is to move Malaysia's economy away from manufacturing toward a higher-tech knowledge-based economy, especially in sectors such as ICT, biotechnology, and services.
		Indeed, it is unlikely that Malaysia would be able to attract the volume of "greenfield" investment required for this transition in the absence of some paradigm changing event, such as an FTA.
