Developing Countries in Asia Despite a Drop in Ranking

Malaysia continues to be ranked by the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) as the most competitive economy among developing countries in Asia. Malaysia remains ahead of economies such as Republic of Korea, Iceland and China. However in this latest ranking, Malaysia was overtaken by Belgium, Austria, Luxembourg, France, Australia, Ireland and Israel. It is important to note that all countries ranked above Malaysia are developed and high income economies.

In the GCR 2016-17, Malaysia was ranked 25th among the 138 economies, down from 18th last year. In terms of scores, our performance came down from 5.23 to 5.16 out of a maximum of 7. Meanwhile, countries and territories that also slipped in their ranking include Germany, Japan, Hong Kong SAR, Finland, Canada, France, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.

The GCR is an annual report published by the WEF based on the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI). The GCI combines 114 indicators that integrate both macro and micro economic aspects of competitiveness. These indicators are grouped into 12 pillars comprising Institutions, Infrastructure, Macroeconomic Environment, Health and Primary Education, Higher Education and Training, Goods Market Efficiency, Labor Market Efficiency, Financial Market Development, Technological Readiness, Market Size, Business Sophistication and Innovation. The GCI is based on statistical data from internationally recognised organisations for 30% or 34 indicators. For the rest of the 80 indicators, qualitative assessments were made based on the World Economic Forum’s Executive Opinion Survey.

Overall, the report ranked Switzerland as the most competitive economy in the world for the eighth consecutive year, ahead of Singapore and the United States, followed by the Netherlands and Germany.

Malaysia ranked in the top 50 in each of the total 12 pillars, despite the decline in 8 of them. Malaysia performed most strongly in Goods Market Efficiency (12th) and Financial Market Development (13th).

In the Technological Readiness pillar, Malaysia advanced by 4 places to 43rd and Market Size pillar gained 2 positions to 24th.

International Trade and Industry Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed said external factors beyond the control of policy makers were partly responsible for the decline in Malaysia’s ranking. “The global economic uncertainty, the strong US Dollar, the fall in commodity prices and the slowdown in China’s economy are beyond our ambit,” he said.

The minister added, “There is also the issue of perception due to irresponsible act of certain parties which continue to spread unfounded and baseless allegations about domestic political developments

Ministry of International Trade and Industry, 28 September 2016

Dato’ Sri Mustapa said that, although the latest ranking is disappointing, it strengthens the Government’s resolve in undertaking necessary measures at a much faster pace to improve the country’s competitiveness. As pointed out by the WEF, for emerging economies, updated business practices and investments in innovation are now as important as infrastructure, skills and efficient markets. The outcome of this report is not to be taken lightly - the Government will address the shortcomings highlighted in the report, and consolidate efforts across ministries towards maintaining Malaysia’s status as a preferred investment destination. Malaysia will continue to benchmark itself against the best performers in the report.

As it stands, Malaysia is already addressing areas such as improving productivity, enabling innovation especially in SMEs and revolutionizing manufacturing services, enhanced automation and digitalization to increase efficiency, optimization of logistics and making prices more transparent and competitive taking cognizance of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Preparing the SMEs against the backdrop of a more open environment and numerous Free Trade Agreements that we are involved in, as well as the deeper economic trade integration in ASEAN, has become a priority for the Government. At the same time, the Government is also working closely with experts and Industry players in finalizing the Malaysia Productivity Blueprint to address issues and challenges on productivity in a comprehensive manner.

Dato’ Sri Mustapa also urged the companies to innovate fast given the prospect of being overtaken by the market. The private sector will define the competitiveness of Malaysia.

The report also underscores the importance of avoiding the middle-income trap by placing increasing attention to business sophistication and innovation. “Innovation is the name of the game and we will continue to embrace this new reality. Several strategies which are being implemented to promote innovation at enterprise and societal levels under the 11th Malaysia Plan are expected to enhance the national innovation ecosystem. Hopefully this will help us to improve our ranking in the coming report,” the minister added.

Dato’ Sri Mustapa cautioned that going forward, competition will become more intense in the years ahead as all countries are working towards lifting their competitiveness. “Technology enabled platforms, such as sensors that ease sharing and on-demand economies, are disrupting business models and forcing countries to rethink how they formulate economic policies,” he said.

Both the Government and the private sector need to work more closely with each other to create a more competitive environment. On this the Government will step up the momentum to innovate.

“Malaysia is already in the right trajectory clearly as defined in the 11th Malaysia Plan, which focuses on wealth creation through innovation by strengthening the relational capital through an improved collaboration among all stakeholders. In this context, high impact initiatives by PEMUDAH, the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) will continue to support the private sector to enhance Malaysia’ competitiveness,” he stressed.

The Global Green Economy Index 2016

Source: http://dualcitizeninc.com/GGEI-2016.pdf

Global Green Economy Index (GGEI) is a data-driven analysis of how 80 countries perform in the global green economy, as well as how expert practitioners rank this performance. Since its launch in 2010, the GGEI has signaled which countries are making progress towards greener economies, and which ones are not. The comparison of national green performance and perceptions of it revealed through the GGEI framework is more important than ever today. This is because while there is far greater public and political focus on climate change and green growth now than when the GGEI was first published, often the commitments and targets communicated by leaders do not match the reality.

Trade Statistics and Outlook

World merchandise trade volume is  expected to grow 1.7% in 2016,  accompanied by real GDP growth of  2.2% at market exchange rates. This  would be the slowest pace of trade  and output growth since the financial  crisis. 

Trade growth was weaker than  expected in the first half of 2016 due  to falling import demand and slowing  GDP growth in several major 

developing economies as well as in  North America. 

Trade in 2017 is expected to grow  between 1.8% and 3.1%, a range  being provided to reflect potential  changes in the relationship between  trade and output. 

Certain trade‐related indicators have  improved, including export orders  and container port throughput, but  overall momentum in trade remains  weak.
