Malaysia’s successful diversification of its economy made it a major exporter of electrical appliances, spare parts, and components. Almost 40% of Malaysia’s jobs are connected to export industries with a highly-trained IT and manufacturing services workforce. The country’s openness to trade and investment has played a role in job creation and income growth. Malaysia’s economy has been growing at a rate of 5.4 percent on average since 2010. It aims to shift from an upper-middle-income to a high-income economy by 2024. It moves closer to becoming a high-income economy. Malaysia’s incremental growth will rely less on factor accumulation and more on increasing productivity to maintain potential growth. The country’s GDP is projected to trend around 380 USD Billion in 2022.
