NEW YORK: Malaysia’s surge from once a nascent developing economy to what it is now is described by some US experts as an “advanced emerging economy,” is a reminder that the country is transiting to becoming a full developed nation by the year 2020, a goal that is embedded in the Malaysian Government’s Vision 2020.
The level of development and sophistication characterising Malaysia’s economy today was also highlighted by Datuk Seri Abdul Wahid Omar, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, who is currently visiting New York with a delegation of 14 Malaysian companies showcased under the Invest Malaysia USA (IMUS) 2013 roadshow to attract portfolio investors from the United States to Malaysia’s capital market.
