Wiranto: ‘The recovery in commodity prices will be a big plus for Malaysia’s economy, as it is a net commodity exporter.’
KUALA LUMPUR: : Global crude oil prices are expected to strengthen to US$65 (RM288.44) per barrel by end-2017, supported by the production cut by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) and non-Opec countries, said OCBC Bank.
