Malaisie — Dossier militaire

MBB · 58/100 — La note Magna est notre composite 0–100 de la puissance nationale structurelle — cinq dimensions, plus de 100 indicateurs. C'est l'évaluation propre du Bureau, pas un miroir des chiffres de la Banque mondiale ou de la CIA.

Momentum +2 — Momentum trimestriel : la lecture du Bureau sur la trajectoire du pays au dernier trimestre, de −10 (dégradation rapide) à +10 (accélération).

La course de la croissance s'est poursuivie — les chiffres du premier semestre sont restés solides grâce au commerce et à un ringgit ferme — maintenant la Malaisie parmi les surperformeurs d'Asie.

La stabilité politique sous Anwar a ajouté le calme. Un trimestre modestement positif, mérité sur les données.
