This strategy yielded impressive results as the economy was transformed from an agriculture-based economy to one with a large industrial base. Malaysia, for example, grew at an average rate of 8.8% between 1990-1996. This was also accompanied by low inflation, declining inequality, significant reductions in the poverty level and a high savings rate. Malaysia therefore enjoyed relatively strong ?fundamentals? just before the 1997 crisis.
