Malaysia's economy grew at the slowest pace in a decade in the fourth quarter, largely due to the supply disruptions, official data revealed Wednesday.
Gross domestic product grew 3.6 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter, slower than the 4.4 percent expansion seen in the third quarter, data from Bank Negara Malaysia showed. This was the weakest growth since 2009 and well below the forecast of 4.2 percent.
