ECONOMIC OUTLOOK 2022
MITI has taken various efforts to bring continuous improvement in the digital economy, productivity, and competitiveness sectors, which is vital for business improvement and economy growth, and to overcome the impact caused by the pandemic since last two (2) years.
Therefore, MITI is committed towards providing clear and coherent policy leadership in achieving MITI’s vision. The rolling out of several key initiatives by MITI, MATRADE, and other ancillary agencies, will spur Malaysia’s economic recovery in the coming years and put it firmly on track to becoming a high-income, digital economy. Underpinning this is the multi-pronged approach adopted by both MITI and MATRADE to aggressively promote Malaysian products and expertise to the international stage.
Adopting new ideas, concepts, and approaches is another area in which MITI believes will enhance Malaysia’s competitiveness globally. As such, the Ministry is aggressively looking at fully embracing digitalisation and the digital economy in year 2022 and beyond.
To this end, the Government introduced the MyDIGITAL Agenda, under the 12MP (2021-2025), in which Malaysia will make the technological leap towards becoming a regional leader in the digital economy. The aim is to transform Malaysia into a digitally-driven, and a high-
income nation by 2030, by harnessing human capital development and embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
Part of this ecosystem is the development of e-Commerce. At the forefront of this initiative is the eTRADE Programme 2.0, designed to accelerate the exports of Malaysian SMEs by listing their products and services on international e-commerce platforms.
While all this is going on, MITI and its agencies will implement a number of initiatives to improve efficiency, while introducing regulatory reforms to enhance quality, productivity, and connectivity between Malaysian businesses and its international customers. The Government’s commitment to reduce the unnecessary regulatory burdens on businesses and the people by 25%
per year will ensure that the regulations are robust, are of sound quality, comprehensive, agile, responsive, and will contribute towards Malaysia’s overall productivity and global competitiveness.
Government is committed to accelerating technology adoption among Malaysian companies. Thus, MITI will continue to play a significant role in reinforcing the foundations and accelerating digitalisation, which is
increasingly important as the country moves into the endemic phase. In this matter, MITI will strengthen cooperation with industry players in order to increase productivity and competitiveness. For example, for the year 2022, more than 20 eBusiness Global Campaigns have been scheduled to achieve eBizLink’s KPI target of 600 companies assisted through focused campaigns, including business-matching with importers in new potential markets.
MATRADE also believes that the eBizMatch online business meeting programme is an important digital platform for Malaysian exporters to communicate with overseas importers in an efficient and cost-effective manner. As a result, MATRADE will continue to run the eBizMatch programme in 2022, especially as physical events/meetings in several countries are still impractical.
Despite these difficult circumstances, MATRADE will continue to work to promote the country’s economic progress. The efforts by MATRADE’s 46 global offices to expand branding and promotional activities have undoubtedly reinforced the relationship, and increased foreign buyers’ confidence in continuing to do business with Malaysian entities.
On the other hand, as the future seems promising for robust productivity growth, MPC is driving the nation’s productivity growth towards enhancing the country’s global competitiveness and shared prosperity, positioning Malaysia as the preferred destination for trade, investment, and business. Talent, digital technology, and regulations are the key drivers in boosting productivity.
MPC is taking steps to ensure quality delivery of initiatives in the three (3) areas, reaching the target of 3.6% annual productivity growth during the 12MP. Implementation of productivity initiatives is realized through public-private collaborative innovation and regulatory experimentation.
The establishment of the #MyMudah Unit at all Ministries, Government Agencies, state and local governments and business associations eases the management of regulatory issues and challenges. Guided by the Malaysia Productivity Blueprint and 12MP, MPC looks forward to delivering productivity initiatives for a competitive and prosperous Malaysia.
