PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is on track to becoming a high-income advanced economy due to the Government’s bold action and tough decisions in implementing the National Transformation Programme (NTP), said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Speaking at the launch of the 2016 NTP annual report, the Prime Minister said Malaysia’s gross national income (GNI) per capita – which reflects the average income of citizens – was now US$10,010 (RM43,100), just 18% short of the World Bank’s benchmark of US$12,275 for a developed country.
