MALAYSIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Malaysia, a middle-income
country, has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials
into an emerging multi-sector economy. Under current Prime Minister NAJIB,
Malaysia is attempting to achieve high-income status by 2020 and to move
farther up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in
Islamic finance, high technology industries, biotechnology, and services.
NAJIB's Economic Transformation Program (ETP) is a series of projects and
policy measures intended to accelerate the country's economic growth. The
government has also taken steps to liberalize some services sub-sectors. The
NAJIB administration also is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and
reduce the economy's dependence on exports. Nevertheless, exports -
particularly of electronics, oil and gas, palm oil and rubber - remain a
significant driver of the economy. As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has
profited from higher world energy prices, although the rising cost of domestic
gasoline and diesel fuel, combined with sustained budget deficits, has forced
Kuala Lumpur to begin to address fiscal shortfalls, through initial reductions
in energy and sugar subsidies and the announcement of the 2015 implementation
of a 6% goods and services tax. The government is also trying to lessen its
dependence on state oil producer Petronas. The oil and gas sector supplies
about 32% of government revenue in 2013. Bank Negara Malaysia (central bank)
maintains healthy foreign exchange reserves, and a well-developed regulatory
regime has limited Malaysia's exposure to riskier financial instruments and the
global financial crisis. Nevertheless, Malaysia could be vulnerable to a fall
in commodity prices or a general slowdown in global economic activity because
exports are a major component of GDP. In order to attract increased investment,
NAJIB earlier raised possible revisions to the special economic and social
preferences accorded to ethnic Malays under the New Economic Policy of 1970,
but retreated in 2013 after he encountered significant opposition from Malay
nationalists and other vested interests. In September 2013 NAJIB launched the
new Bumiputra Economic Empowerment Program (BEEP), policies that favor and
advance the economic condition of ethnic Malays.

INDUSTRY : |
MANUFACTURING |
|
The manufacturing sector is expected to grow by 5.5% in 2015. It will
be bolstered by strong domestic and export-oriented industries in line with
growing investment activities and favorable external demand. Moreover, in
2014, the manufacturing sectors have spearheading growth. The manufacturing
sector is estimated to grow at a faster pace in 2014 on higher exports of
electronics and electrical (E&E) products as external demand improves. |
|
|
The manufacturing sector expanded strongly during the first half of
2014, the highest growth in three years, spurred by higher global
semiconductor sales. Value-added of the manufacturing sector expanded 7.1%
during the first half of 2014. Production of the sector rose 6.6% in the
first seven months of 2014 supported by resilient domestic demand and
recovery in the external sector during the first seven months of the years.
The sales value of manufactured products rebounded by 7.7% in the first seven
months of 2014. The strong performance of the sector was on account of higher
output at 9.4% from the domestic-oriented industries, particularly transport
equipment, food and beverage. |
|
|
The manufacturing sector continued to attract domestic and foreign
investment with investment approved by Malaysian Investment Development
Authority (MIDA) totaling RM47.4 billion during the first six months of 2014,
mainly from Japan, China and Germany. Meanwhile, the capacity utilization
rate remained steady at 80.4% during the second quarter of 2014 while average
wage per employee and productivity improved to RM2,772 per month and 5.9%,
respectively during the first seven months of 2014. Boosted by favorable
domestic economic activity and recovery in the external sector, the
manufacturing sector is expected to record a better performance with growth
of 6.4% in 2014. |
|
|
In the meantime, production of wood products rebounded by 5.1% largely
supported by higher output in the saw-milling and planning of wood segment at
25.9% during the first seven months of 2014. The positive performance was
attributed to vibrant residential and commercial construction activities
which contributed to increased use of timber frame and glued laminated timber
for cost savings compared to the use of concrete and steel. Increased demand
from major export destination such as the US, Japan and Australia for
Malaysian made furniture contributed to the higher output, particularly
wooden and cane furniture which rebounded by 2.2%. |
|
|
Production of rubber products contracted 0.3% in the first seven
months of 2014 on account of slower demand for rubber gloves and rubber
tyres. The decline in rubber tyres for vehicles was due to the weaker
external demand from the automotive industry, particularly from China. Output
of other rubber products contracted 3.8% following the product shift from
rubber-based to plastics, silicones and metal alloys in the manufacture of
medical devices. |
|
|
Besides, exports of manufactured products are expected to grow 6.1% in
2014 boosted by the growing demand from advanced economies. However, during
the first seven months of 2014, manufactured exports surged 11.4%. The robust
growth was buoyed by strengthening demand in the US and EU, reflecting
significant exposure of Malaysian exports to the economic performance in the
advance economies. The strength in export was broad-based with robust growth
in both E&E and non- E&E subsectors. |
|
|
Under budget 2015, the Government will provide incentive in the form
of capital allowance on automation expenditure to encourage automation in the
manufacturing sector, which may help in the manufacturing sector. |
