PETALING JAYA: The revival of domestic demand, expected rate hikes, efficacy of the fiscal policy, environmental, social and governance (ESG) adoption and the emergence of new Covid-19 variants are among the economic themes to be closely monitored that may determine Malaysia’s growth momentum this year.
