The digital economy contributes 22.6% to Malaysia’s GDP and is expected to rise to 25.5% by 2025.
The digital economy is one of the fastest-growing sectors in Malaysia. The key digital technologies include robotics, artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things, cloud technology, blockchain, financial technology, and cybersecurity. To fully capture the digital opportunities in the country, the Government of Malaysia (GOM) established three key pillars of action through its National Strategic Initiative, Malaysia Digital:
1. Facilitate digitalization in both the public and private sectors.
2. Build the nation’s digital talent.
3. Promote digital trade opportunities.
