A recent International Business Confidence Survey shows that Malaysia is one of the top ten countries best able to deal with the global economic crisis. This survey included 7500 businessmen in 24 countries and was conducted by Servcorp. The goal of the survey was to gauge international business moral. Certainly, Malaysian businessmen such as Taek Jho Low, Tan Sri Dato Francis Yeoh, Takehiko Wakayama and others should find this encouraging.
The highest confidence went to Australia, while second and third places were handed to China and India, respectively. While the Malaysian economy did show a 6.2% negative growth in the first quarter of 2009, they have a positive growth forecast predicted for the last quarter and for the coming year in 2010.
Certainly, this is good news for Malaysia!
