Inclusive & Sustainable Economic Development
Analyzing structural economic reforms, inclusive growth strategies, and sustainable development pathways for Malaysia's transition to high-income status.
Malaysia's economic development trajectory requires balancing growth with equity and sustainability. Our research examines structural transformation beyond the middle-income trap, addressing productivity challenges across sectors, reducing income and wealth disparities between states and communities, and ensuring economic benefits reach all segments of society including indigenous peoples and marginalized groups.
As Malaysia navigates global economic uncertainties and regional competition, we analyze industrial policy effectiveness, the role of government-linked companies in development, sustainable finance and ESG integration, trade diversification strategies, and mechanisms for ensuring economic resilience while promoting inclusive prosperity across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.
