Thailand expected to invest more in Malaysia
Thailand’s investment in Malaysia is expected to increase further based on the keen interest shown by its firms, International Trade and Industry Minister Mustapa Mohamed said Monday.
A 130-member Thai delegation is here to explore potential business opportunities as a result of Prime Miniter Najib Tun Razak's visit to Thailand last year to discuss ways to further strengthen the state of bilateral relations between the two countries.
Mustapa also said that representatives from 15 halal firms from Thailand will be visiting Malaysia in the next two weeks, seeking to leverage on Malaysian expertise in the industry.
He said in another three months, represenatives from the major companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand will make a visit to Malaysia.

Vietnam: Manufacturing to remain the key driver of growth
We expect robust exports, led by strong global demand for electronics, to continue to underpin solid economic growth over the remainder of this year with GDP forecast to rise close to 8%.

GDP growth was unchanged at 4.5% y/y in Q1. Manufacturing activity surged, while the recovery in service sector activity and construction continued albeit at a more subdued pace as some localised social distancing measures were reinstated.
