Digital economy set to further strengthen national competitiveness in wake of 5.1% GDP growth

The digital economy will continue to serve as a strategic engine of growth for Malaysia due to its essential role in driving innovation, enhancing productivity and fostering new business models across industries.

MDEC CEO Anuar Fariz Fadzil said that Malaysia’s proactive digital policies, particularly in AI, and talent development have collectively positioned Malaysia as a regional hub for digital excellence.

“Public-private collaborations further enhance our nation’s leadership in AI and quantum computing, driving transformative impacts across sectors like manufacturing, finance, and services,” said Anuar.

“MDEC is dedicated and committed to support Malaysia in achieving or surpassing the 25.5% digital economy contribution to GDP by year-end through initiatives that catalyse digital transformation, talent development and technology adoption across businesses.”

“Our goal is to enhance SME competitiveness, continue attracting high-quality investments and develop a digitally skilled workforce ready for the future.”
