On 13 September 2024, Gas Malaysia Berhad (Gas Malaysia), a member of MMC Group, hosted an Economic Talk 2024 at its Resource & Training Centre in Shah Alam. The event received about 40 participants including members from the management team. The session was hosted to provide key economic insights and updates that would help the leadership team navigate the ever-evolving economic landscape, aligning their decision-making with the company's business objectives and understanding the broader market trends.
Dr. Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid, Chief Economist & Social Finance of Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad, delivered a thought-provoking talk titled "1H2024 is behind us. What lies ahead?".
Dr. Mohd Afzanizam's presentation predominantly focused on the emerging opportunities and risks that could affect Gas Malaysia's growth prospects and strategic planning. It provided crucial insights into how macroeconomic factors, such as inflation and interest rates, might influence long-term business strategies.
This event was part of Gas Malaysia's ongoing efforts to promote continuous learning and informed decision-making within the leadership team and thus ensuring the company remains agile and resilient in a volatile environment. As the key initiative held twice this year, the Economic Talk is expected to continue in 2025, aiming to keep the management team informed about the economic developments that may shape the company's future direction.
