  20. Four Phases of Economic Growth - In the last 5 decades, Malaysia has witnessed major structural transformation of the economy. 1986-99 1957-70 1971- 85 2000 onwards Rapid industrialization and global integration Towards higher knowledge-based economy… Commodity-driven and import substitution Rural development and nascent industrialization 2009Global Recession 1997-98Asian Crisis 1985 Recession 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2009 • Post-crisis, Government pursued rapid industrialisation, export promotion and introduced economic liberalisation • Malaysia entered second recession in 1998 – due to speculative attacks on Asian currencies • A private-sector driven, commodity-based economy • Pursued an import substitution strategy • Government emphasised on rural development and initiated effort on industrialisation • Malaysia entered first recession in 1986 - collapse in commodity prices, twin deficit position • Policy thrust to develop Malaysia into a knowledge-based economy • Growth was driven by domestic demand

  21. Economic Development - The standard of living has improved immensely for the average person since 1957. From close to zero, access to piped water, electricity and TV are all 100%. The Malay poverty level is < 17%. - The New Economic Plan (NEP) of 1971 was a 20 year plan to eliminate prosperity as a function of race. It sought rapid growth in the Malay sector without weakening Chinese enterprise. - The NEP also sought to increase the Malay share of capital ownership to 30%, reduce foreign share to 30% from 63% and allow a 40% Chinese share. - Malaysia’s economy is a market oriented, export economy with state ownership of heavy industry, only. Growth rate of GNP has been about 8% in the 1980s and 90s. - Factors include global market liberalization, competition for FDI, especially from China and Vietnam and difficulties integrating into global supply chains.

  22. Per capita income of US$6,800 (2009) clearly significant achievement but seemingly caught in “middle income” trap • Major preoccupation with identifying new sources of economic growth; episodic promotion of ICT, biotechnology, Islamic finance, tourism, services, etc. • Key policy thrusts include human resource development, innovation clustering, etc. i.e. knowledge-driven activities. • After 50 years of empowerment through development, citizens are educated, have choices and less susceptible to patronage. • Close political-economic nexus also necessitated being trade, market and private enterprise-friendly to large degree.

  23. Growth and development story incomplete without (A) primary commodities, (B) foreign direct investment, and (B) oil and gas to furnish foreign reserves. • In late 1980s to mid-1990s, growing economic confidence led to massive infrastructure privatization, supported by foreign capital inflows. • Malaysia moved from being ‘someone else’s production platform’ to recognition as a significant economic entity and market in its own right. • 1997 Asian Financial Crisis meant “openness” threatened stability of multiracial coalition; political-economic nexus, however, was not at risk. • Rebounding from contraction in 2009, GDP rose at a faster rate than anticipated in the first half of 2010. • Exports recovered strongly, sparking a broad-based increase in domestic demand that powered the growth in GDP.

  31. Issues and Challenges • Middle income trap. • Slower economic engine and emergence of other developing economies. • Declining investment and attractiveness as investment destinations. • Composition of exports were mainly commodities and low value-added manufactured products. • Slow productivity growth due to low creativity and product innovation (less focus on R&D). • High dependency on low skilled workers and foreign labors. • Critical stage of human capital – brain drain, migration. • Wider gap between the rich and poor. • The Government is burdened with subsidies.
