Past growth drivers not enough to carry Malaysia past high-income threshold, says Mustapa

KUALA LUMPUR (March 16): The factor-driven growth that has served the country well in the past to bring it on the cusp of attaining high-income status is not enough to carry the nation past the high-income threshold, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Economy) Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed. He said this factor-driven growth is becoming more costly to sustain, with every unit of input injected into the economy yielding less gross domestic product (GDP) growth compared to the past. “New sources of growth are needed to ensure that it is driven by multifactor productivity. We need to build a workforce for the future, drive digitalisation and spur productivity improvements at the sector and enterprise levels.
