focus on expanding our economy towards more complex,
knowledge-intensive and high-end products and services.

6. I have recently launched Shared Prosperity Vision 2030
(SPV2030), which defines Malaysia’s aspirations to
achieve sustainable growth and become a nation that is
competitive with high-integrity and dignity. Under the
Vision, we have identified 15 proposed Key Economic
Growth Activities (KEGAs) that will potentially drive the
country’s future economic growth. Some areas include
smart and high-value agriculture Islamic Finance, Halal
and centre of excellence.

7. This Vision is complementary to Malaysia’s move towards
the implementation of Industry 4.0, or what we call
Industry4WRD. We are actively developing catalytic
industries, namely electrical and electronics (E&E),
machinery and equipment (M&E), chemical as well as
high-potential industries such as medical devices and
aerospace. These industries, with their strong inter-
linkages with other subsectors, play a vital role to support
the development of the overall manufacturing sector.

Investment Performance

8. Moreover, investments in the services sectors have not
been overlooked. Subsectors such as Global Operations
Hub, regional establishments, R&D, logistics, green
technology, education, health, hotels and tourism,
continue to be prioritised. These subsectors also assume
an essential role of supporting companies in all sectors of
the economy.
