八十年代初马来西亚的经济发展速度有所下降,与席卷西方国家的深刻的经济危机是分不开的。马来西亚国内生产总值的增长率按可比价格计算1981年为6.7%,1982年为4.6%,而七十年代平均每年为7.8%。据认为,1983年国内生产总值将增长5.6%(达到312亿马元),而1984年——6%。 The economic development in Malaysia in the early 1980s has been declining at a rate that is inseparable from the profound economic crisis that has swept the Western countries. Malaysia’s GDP grew at a comparable rate of 6.7% in 1981 and 4.6% in 1982, compared with an average of 7.8% per annum in the 1970s. It is believed that gross domestic product will grow by 5.6% (reaching 31.2 billion U.S. dollars) in 1983 and -6% in 1984.
