As it prepares for high-income nationhood, enhancing productivity and innovation has become key to Malaysia’s economic future

And a more competitive private sector will help create jobs, increase incomes, and reduce poverty. So, what will it take to make Malaysia’s private sector more competitive and an engine of growth as the country transitions towards high-income nation status?
