DESPITE the uncertainties in the global economy, Malaysian companies are still active and contributing towards generating activities in the domestic economy, according to International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz.
The confidence in the Malaysian economy is reflected in the number of applications for projects from domestic investors, which had increased by 35% from RM5.2bil in 2001 to RM7bil in 2002, Rafidah said at the launch of Enterprise 50 2003 in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
