PETALING JAYA: As Malaysia aims to become a high-income, value-creating economy under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), five key trends are expected to shape the country’s economic trajectory from 2026 to 2030, according to Maybank Investment Bank Research (Maybank IB).
The five areas to watch, the research house said, are: a sustained investment upcycle; improvements in workers’ and household incomes; fiscal consolidation and structural reforms; a push for productivity and innovation; and legislative reforms to strengthen governance.
