MALAYSIA is taking a multi- pronged approach to boost the digital economy, said the Science, Technology and Innovation (Mosti) Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba, as it is expected to contribute 22.6% of the country’s GDP (gross domestic product) and create over 500,000 jobs by 2025.

During his keynote speech at the Huawei APAC Digital Innovation Congress 2022 in Singapore, the minister said that economies that are more digitally advanced tend to get a larger share of their GDP from high-tech sectors, where workers can more easily switch to remote work.
