With a focus on economic complexity and social mobility, the 13th Malaysia Plan aims to address decades of underperformance and stagnation
The 13th Malaysia Plan, launched under the striking mission of “redesigning development”, extends a planning tradition that is now seven decades old but continues to anchor the nation’s development strategy and public investment.
The plan seeks to answer two enduring questions: how can Malaysia climb the value chain and how can more Malaysians share in its gains?
