Additionally, the speaker provided some suggestions and recommendations of what would best be done to improve Malaysian economy.

Detail

Mr. Lee Heng Guie, Chief Economist of CIMB first begun with explaining how US finance its spending and what actually caused the recession. It then went into explaining the policies taken such as how bank deposits are guaranteed in the banking system.

This, he explained, will not be good, because there will not be confidence in the banking system. So, it is necessary to restore confidence and to stabilize the market as although people defer purchases at the beginning of the recession, spending will return to normal after a period of time, when they find that they still need to make those purchases. Mr. Lee further explained that it is gone as inflation will turn into negative and it should be sustained. He agreed that stimulus plans should be taken, but must be pulled back after the economy starts to recover, so that it does not reintroduce inflation.

Furthermore, he commented that the good points about the current situation in Malaysia are that there are more money in the system comparing to prevent slumps, the government is managing their debts well, and having a healthier balance sheet for corporations.

Mr. Lee states that the future of the economy is in the service sector as it drives youths and the human capital. He believes that the pick up in global growth will be gradual and speedy restructuring of the banking sector and the normal functions if credit markets presentation for sustained market recovery.
