Episode 41-Malaysia’s Future: Balancing Growth and Giants
Episode description
In the last decade, Malaysia has experienced dramatic shifts— from the 1MDB scandal that shook the nation, to its rise as an economic player, all while balancing relationships with global powers like the US and China.
To help us unpack these complex dynamics, we’re joined by Nick Khaw, economist and Head of Research at Khazanah Nasional, Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund.
With years of experience shaping policy in the Economic Planning Unit, Nick offers unique insights into Malaysia's growth, its political landscape, and what the future holds.
In this episode, we spoke about several topics including:
- The legacy and ongoing impact of 1MDB
- Assessing Malaysia's economy today
- Balancing between the US and China
Nick writes monthly column for The Edge Malaysia, with the articles also being available at www.nicholaskhaw.com.
