Malaysia will need to revise down growth forecast, central bank governor says

KUALA LUMPUR, April 24 (Reuters) - Malaysia will need to mark down its growth forecast of 4.5% to 5.5% for the year due to trade and tariff uncertainties, its central bank governor said.

However, the Southeast Asian country was in no rush to revise the forecast and will see how the global trade situation plays out, Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour said at an International Monetary Fund event in Washington on Wednesday.
