Malaysia

Malaysia is an upper-middle-income, export-oriented economy that has diversified from commodities into manufacturing and services, becoming one of Southeast Asia's most developed nations.

Growth is driven by electronics, a key node in global semiconductor supply chains, alongside palm oil and energy, as Malaysia aims to escape the 'middle-income trap' and reach high-income status.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include electronics and semiconductors, palm oil (Malaysia is a top global producer), oil and natural gas, tourism, and Islamic finance.
