Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The major goal of this research is to determine how the global financial crisis and certain macroeconomic factors have affected Malaysia's economic growth. This research investigates how Malaysian economic growth is impacted by government investment on education, real interest rates, broad money, and the global financial crisis. Annual secondary data have been utilised for this study's objectives beginning in 1992 and continuing through 2021. In order to calculate the coefficient values for the four variables in this study—government expenditure on education, real interest rates, broad money, and dummy variables that symbolise the global financial crisis—the least squares method was used. According to the study's results, Malaysia's economic growth is significantly influenced favourably by the factor of government spending on education. The coefficient value of β=0.323 supports this finding. The study's results also show that the broad money variable has a positive and substantial impact on economic growth, with a coefficient value of β=0.139. The study's results also suggest that the real interest rate and dummy varibale indicators of the global financial crisis have a negative and significant impact on Malaysia's economic growth. The respective coefficient values of β=-0.419 and β=-4.5994 provide credence to this conclusion. Overall, the government's investment on education, broad money, interest rates, and the global financial crisis all have an impact on economic growth in Malaysia. The study's findings demonstrate that long-term economic development in a nation may be fueled by government investment on education. The study's results also imply that Malaysia's economic development may be impacted by broad money
