# Authorities’ Statement on 2017 Malaysia Staff Report in: IMF Staff Country Reports Volume 2017 Issue 101 (2017)

> The IMF's 2017 Malaysia staff report statement says growth has slowed but Malaysia is still among the fastest-growing economies at its income level. It credits a diversified export base, a flexible exchange rate and deep financial markets for its resilience to commodity and financial volatility. It flags continued global uncertainty for near-term policy.

## Why it matters

The IMF view that Malaysia's commodity exports are a source of resilience suggests steady demand for imported feed and agricultural inputs. It has no direct price implication.
