GDP figures for that year will go through the roof but what has it done for the real economy? Nothing much because the net result is that a hole was merely filled up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171109115213682080.post-30282652708330948432013-04-01T10:41:28.963+08:002013-04-01T10:41:28.963+08:00Anas, sorry to say but your belief that Malaysia&#...Anas, sorry to say but your belief that Malaysia's debt is okay collapses.<br /><br />See here, in the news - http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/sideviews/article/the-misleading-debt-to-gdp-ratio-pak-sako<br /><br />There are heaps of unanswered questions that gotta be answered first before it can be said that the debt level is okay.<br /><br />And the RM1 trillion trajectory - IMF forecast apparently.

Like Greece, a lot of government debts have been hidden under private debts to make the gdp% look good<br /><br />2. Despite the golden years of petroleum and palm oil exports, we were still running a deficit which means servicing these debts in the years to come.
