KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 21 — The Najib administration received a fillip yesterday with new economic data showing that the prime minister’s moves to rev up the economy are working.
Gross domestic product contracted 1.2 per cent in the third quarter from a year earlier, shallower than the 2 per cent drop predicted by most economists.
The economy shrank 6.2 per cent in the first quarter of the year, but improved a bit in the second quarter by contracting 3.9 per cent.
