PETALING JAYA: Malaysia can achieve high-income status by 2026 if its economic growth rate is able to sustain in a range of between 4% and 5% annually, says Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli.

The Pandan MP said the strengthening of the ringgit was another factor that could aid the country in achieving the high-income status.
