Participatory progress the path to prosperity

MALAYSIA, an upper-middle-income, emerging-market country, has made significant strides in its economic development. While it has a relatively high standard of living, it still has areas for improvement, both socially and economically, to become a developed nation.

In a couple of years, we will celebrate seven decades since our political independence. Peace and growth are mutually reinforcing pillars of development. And the path to greater prosperity is through cultivating participatory progress in all spheres of life and livelihood.
