KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak hinted Thursday that the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth for 2010 may exceed 6%.
The official GDP figures will be announced Friday, he told reporters after officiating a programme to enhance Dewan Negara's activities, at Parliament House here.
Asked if Malaysia was capable of recording double-digit growth in future, Najib, who is also Finance Minister, said: "No, we cannot. Because you must remember that the Malaysian economy is much bigger than it was 20 years ago.
"As we approach to become a matured economy, we cannot get double-digit (growth) but we can get reasonably high. And, I think 6% is considered a very creditable performance.
"We have to be realistic. No developed nation can achieve double-digit."
He also said the country was on track to achieve Vision 2020. - Bernama
