MALAYSIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Malaysia, an upper middle-income country, has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into a multi-sector economy. Under current Prime Minister NAJIB, Malaysia is attempting to achieve high-income status by 2020 and to move further up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in high technology, knowledge-based industries and services. NAJIB's Economic Transformation Program 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. Malaysia is vulnerable to a fall in world commodity prices or a general slowdown in global economic activity.

The NAJIB administration is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and reduce the economy's dependence on exports. Domestic demand continues to anchor economic growth, supported mainly by private consumption, which accounts for 53% of GDP. Nevertheless, exports - particularly of electronics, oil and gas, and palm oil - remain a significant driver of the economy. In 2015, gross exports of goods and services were equivalent to 73% of GDP. The oil and gas sector supplied about 22% of government revenue in 2015, down significantly from prior years amid a decline in commodity prices and diversification of government revenues. Malaysia has embarked on a fiscal reform program aimed at achieving a balanced budget by 2020, including rationalization of subsidies and the 2015 introduction of a 6% value added tax. Sustained low commodity prices throughout the period not only strained government finances, but also shrunk Malaysia’s current account surplus and weighed heavily on the Malaysian ringgit, which was among the region’s worst performing currencies during 2013-17. The ringgit hit new lows following the US presidential election amid a broader selloff of emerging market assets.

Bank Negara Malaysia (the central bank) maintains adequate foreign exchange reserves; a well-developed regulatory regime has limited Malaysia's exposure to riskier financial instruments, although it remains vulnerable to volatile global capital flows. In order to increase Malaysia’s competitiveness, Prime Minister NAJIB 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, policies that favor and advance the economic condition of ethnic Malays.

Malaysia signed the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement in February 2016, although the future of the TPP remains unclear following the US withdrawal from the agreement. Along with nine other ASEAN members, Malaysia established the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, which aims to advance regional economic integration.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

MSIC CODE

 

46497 : Wholesale of stationery, books, magazines and newspapers

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

Malaysia's retail sales will likely grow 3.7% in 2017, slower than previously estimated 3.9%, as consumer sentiment remains weak amid rising cost of living in Southeast Asia's third largest economy.

The cut in forecast was the second of such revision by Retail Group Malaysia, a retail consulting firm, from an initial target of 5% retail sales expansion pace in 2017. The estimate follows a survey of members of Malaysia Retailers Association on their second quarter performance and outlook for the year. Retail sales grew 1.7% in 2016.

According to Retail Group Malaysia (RGM), Malaysian retailers have seen the sales expanded 4.9 % from April to June 2017, reversing a dismal performance in first three months 2017. For the first six months 2016, the retail sale growth rate was 2.5 %. However, the businesses in the next three months are not optimistic, estimating an average growth rate of 2.9 %. The department stores cum supermarket operators are expecting to return to red with a contraction of 2.5 %. Similarly, the department store operators expect their businesses to dip with a negative 1.5 %.

The rise of purchasing power will continue to fall behind the increase in prices of retail goods. More retail goods are expected to raise prices because of higher fuel prices in recent months.

The wholesale trade sub-sector index increased 5.9 % to 165.9 points year-on-year (y-o-y) driven mainly by other specialised wholesale (7.5 %), wholesale of agricultural raw materials and livestock (7.3 %) and wholesale of machinery, equipment and supplies (6.2 %).

Over 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is contributed by domestic consumption. Therefore the wholesale and retail sector plays a crucial role in driving Malaysia's growth over the next decade despite the ongoing global economic slowdown. By 2020, Malaysia's wholesale and retail sector is expected to boost the country's total Gross National Income (GNI) by RM156 billion, creating 454,190 new jobs.
