Malaysia's economy expanded at its fastest pace in three-and-a-half years in Q407, growing 7.3% y-o-y after recording 6.6% growth in Q307, as domestic demand continued to compensate for a downturn in the country's key export sector. This took full-year growth for 2007 to 6.3%, accelerating from 5.9% in 2006 and beating the government's target of 6.0%, but economic expansion now looks to have peaked.
