JOINT EFFORTS BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND QATAR TO REINVIGORATE JOINT EFFORTS BETWEEN MALAYSIA AND QATAR TO REINVIGORATE

THE ECONOMY POST COVID-19 THE ECONOMY POST COVID-19

Senior Minister and Minister of International Trade and Industry, YB Dato’ Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali is on a three-day Trade and Investment Mission (TIM) to Qatar with the objective to promote Malaysia as an investment destination of choice, as well as further enhance bilateral trade and economic ties.

On the first day of TIM, the Senior Minister concluded a bilateral meeting with his counterpart, His Excellency Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, Minister of Commerce and Industry and Acting Minister of Finance. The discussion covered a broad spectrum of matters including the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic and how best to create joint efforts for a sustainable economic recovery.

In addressing the current state of the pandemic, the Senior Minister and his counterpart exchanged views on the various measures undertaken to deal with the challenges including accelerated immunisation programmes as well as the economic stimulus initiatives. While Malaysia’s GDP projections had been revised to 4.5%, Senior Minister highlighted that for the first time in history, Malaysia had broken record for a one-month trade performance in spite of the pandemic exceeding RM100 billion. Going forward, the Senior Minister reiterated Malaysia’s clear and comprehensive exit strategy through the National Recovery Plan.

Both Governments are committed to resuming efforts on operationalising the strategies through the 3rd Malaysia-Qatar Joint Trade Committee (JTC) meeting, necessitating stronger private sector participation in the dialogue. Both Governments will also jointly facilitate and continue to work on the Investment Guarantee Agreement to encourage more investment crossflows between Qatar and Malaysia.

The Senior Minister emphasized that Qatar could use Malaysia as its trading hub in the ASEAN region, underscoring that Malaysia offers the best location in the region. With the signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement, Malaysia has become more attractive as it is connected to a market size of over two billion people. On bilateral investment, Senior Minister advocated Malaysian projects as the key to advancing Malaysia’s interest where, pursuant to the MOU signed between the Malaysian Investments Development Authority (MIDA) and the Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar (IPAQ), both agencies could take this to the next level.

The Senior Minister is scheduled to meet the Prime Minister of Qatar, His Excellency Sheikh Khalid Bin Khalifa Bin Abdulaziz Al Thani today. This meeting is key to start the discussion on Malaysia’s National Investment Aspirations (NIA) that will drive and deepen the strong partnership with Qatar. The NIA consists of five key outcomes for the country, namely, to increase economic complexity, create high-value job opportunities, extend domestic linkages, develop new and existing clusters, and improve inclusivity. The NIA aspires to champion equitable growth for the nation by ensuring equal opportunities, as well as adequate safeguards for the people.

The TIM will continue with targeted one-on-one business meetings on new opportunities and collaboration that are paramount for the expansion of public-private strategic partnerships. The meetings will be held with prominent leaders of Qatari companies in the retail service, cyber security and other areas that will expand Malaysia’s footprint in the global halal industry.

As the world remains confronted with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Malaysia being a global trading nation, must take proactive action to strengthen economic resilience and enhance our efforts to attract quality, high value and high-impact investments to the nation. This TIM is poised to reap significant success, on account of Malaysia’s long-standing bilateral relationship with the State of Qatar.

In May 2021, the Producer Price Index (PPI) of local production level stood at a new high (111.6 index points) after registering an increase of 11.9 per cent as compared to the same period last year. The incline was driven by the substantial increase in primary industry products which led to the spike of Mining (68.5%) and Agriculture, forestry & fishing (60.0%) indices. Additionally, the Manufacturing index, which was influenced by the rise in primary and construction-related commodities prices, also showed a significant increase (5.0%). Utility indices comprised of Water supply and Electricity & gas supply also increased by 1.5 per cent and 0.1 per cent respectively.

GLOSSARY

Carbon intensity

Carbon intensity is the amount of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) released per unit of another variable such as gross domestic product (GDP), output energy use or transport (IPCC, 2014)

CO ² e

Carbon dioxide equivalent

(CO²e) is a measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential. It represents the quantity of carbon dioxide that has equal global warming potential as the given quantity of a greenhouse gas (OECD, 2021b).

Emission

Emission is the discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary sources such as smokestacks, other vents, surface areas of commercial or industrial facilities and mobile sources, for example, motor vehicles, locomotives and aircraft (OECD, 2021b).

Greenhouse gases

Greenhouse gases are gases that cause the 'greenhouse effect' by letting solar radiation reach the Earth's surface and absorbing infrared energy emitted by the Earth.

The concentration of some greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is rising as a result of human activities, leading to an increase of the Earth's average temperature. The most important of these gases comprise: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases (F-gases), such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) (WMO, 2019).

GWP

Global Warming Potential (GWP) is an index measuring the radiative forcing following an emission of a unit mass of a given substance, accumulated over a chosen time horizon, relative to that of the reference substance, CO2. The GWPthus represents the combined effect of the differing times these substances remain in the atmosphere and their effectiveness in causing radiative forcing (IPCC, 2014).
