Malaysia’s November Output Growth Accelerates on Manufacturing

Malaysian industrial output growth quickened in November to the fastest in six months as the global economy’s recovery boosts demand for Asian goods.

Production at factories, utilities and mines rose 7.5 percent from a year earlier after gaining a revised 6.4 percent in October, the statistics department said in a statement today. The median of 16 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 5.9 percent increase.
