00:00 Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 The currency is always weak.
00:06 Last year, it became the second-worst currency in Asia,
00:09 only after the Japanese dollar.
00:11 However, the National Bank released a 2023 report on the economy and currency in 2023.
00:16 The current level of the interest rate is still underestimated.
00:19 In order to raise the interest rate, the National Bank has implemented a series of measures,
00:23 including encouraging government-related companies to return foreign investment income to the US dollar
00:28 and convert it into interest.
00:30 At the same time, the National Bank also encourages business owners to use more currency
00:35 when calculating exports or importing payments to reduce their dependence on the US dollar.
00:39 In addition to the interest rate, the Ministry of Finance recently announced that
00:41 China's family debt is as high as 1.53 trillion yuan, which is worrying.
00:46 However, the National Bank President, Adolphe Adolphe, said in a press release that
00:49 the relevant figures are still within the scope of control, so there is no need to worry too much.
00:54 Because China's loan reduction ratio,
00:56 which is the bad loan that the lender cannot repay on time,
01:00 is only around 1.6%,
01:02 which does not affect the overall stability of the financial system.
01:06 In addition, the National Bank also predicts that
01:07 in the case of domestic demand and export growth,
01:10 it will promote the economic performance of this year, which will be better than last year.
01:15 We expect the Malaysian economy to grow between 4% and 5% in 2024.
01:21 Growth will be driven by household spending,
01:23 which is underpinned by higher income growth,
01:26 and continued expansion in employment.
01:28 After the 2023 Economic and Monetary Review Report,
01:33 the National Bank President, Adolphe Adolphe, held a press conference.
01:34 In addition to the estimated economic growth of Malaysia this year,
01:36 it is expected to rise from 3.7% last year to 4% to 5%.
01:41 In terms of inflation, it will be between 2% and 3.5% this year.
01:45 Adolphe said that this forecast has included the potential impact of
01:48 the upcoming targeted subsidy policy and the rise in water and electricity costs.
01:53 In terms of inflation outlook,
01:55 Bitcoin inflation is expected to average between 2% and 3.5% in 2024.
02:03 Domestically, upside risks to the inflation outlook
02:06 mainly stem from the impact of the implementation of domestic policy
02:10 on subsidies and price controls.
02:12 The overall impact to inflation will be dependent on the magnitude
02:17 and timing of fuel price adjustments,
02:19 as well as any additional mitigating measures,
02:22 such as targeted cash transfers.
02:24 Based on the good economic growth of Malaysia this year
02:27 and the slowdown in inflation,
02:29 Adolphe believes that this is a good time for Malaysia to undergo structural reforms.
02:33 Although reforms are painful, they are inevitable.
02:37 Only in this way can we build a stronger and sustainable national economy.
