WHILE prospects for Malaysia's economic growth this year and the next remain strong, concerns about its stubbornly high government and household debt levels continue to cast a pall over its performance.
On Monday, at least two economic research houses predicted that the country's real gross domestic product (GDP) would record between 5.8 per cent and 6 per cent in 2014 from 4.7 per cent last year and remain slightly over 5 per cent in 2015.
