Can Anwar's Reforms Propel Malaysia To The Forefront Of High-Value Sectors?
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's initiatives to attract high-value sectors such as semiconductor fabrication and digital technology, expedite foreign direct investment (FDI) approvals, and improve the ease of doing business are making significant impacts on both Malaysia and the broader Asian region, Forbes Magazine reported.
福布斯杂志报道称,首相拿督斯里安华·依布拉欣引入半导体制造和数字技术等高价值行业、加快外商直接投资批准和提高经商便利度的举措对马来西亚乃至更广泛的亚洲区域产生了重要影响。
The report highlighted substantial investments drawn to these high-value sectors, emphasizing Malaysia's focus on sectors with high growth potential and technological advancement to ascend the global value chain and foster a more dynamic and competitive economy.
报告强调了大量投资流向这些高价值部门,强调马来西亚专注于具有高增长潜力和技术先进性的部门,以提升全球价值链并促进更加动态和有竞争力的经济。
In a commentary published on Forbes' website, Benjamin Laker praised Malaysia's strategy to boost investment quality by improving labor productivity through automation and increased spending on research and development. These initiatives are designed to create an innovation-driven economy, reducing reliance on low-skilled labor and enhancing overall productivity.
在福布斯网站上发表的评论中,本杰明·莱克称赞了马来西亚通过自动化和增加研发开支提高劳动生产率以促进投资质量的策略。这些举措旨在打造创新驱动型经济,减少对低技能劳动力的依赖,提高总体生产率。
Laker also commended Anwar's measures to optimise costs, particularly the rationalization of subsidies and the management of civil service expenses. He noted the significant step of transitioning new civil servants to the Employees Provident Fund scheme, projected to reduce long-term pension costs and shift future pension liabilities to a more sustainable model.
莱克还赞扬了安瓦尔优化成本的措施,特别是补贴合理化和公共服务支出管理。他注意到将新的公务员过渡到公积金计划的重要步骤,预计将减少长期的养老金成本,并将未来的养老金负债转移到更可持续的模式下。
The enactment of the Public Finance and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which institutionalises prudent fiscal management with targets for a three percent fiscal deficit and a 60 percent debt-to-GDP ratio, was also highlighted. This legislative framework aims to ensure Malaysia's fiscal policies remain sustainable in the long run, providing a stable economic environment conducive to growth.
《公共财政和财政责任法》的颁布也受到了关注,该法将审慎财政管理制度化,制定了三%财政赤字和六十%债务占国内生产总值比率的目标。这一立法框架旨在确保马来西亚的财政政策长期可持续,为促进经济增长创造稳定的经济环境。
However, challenges persist. Laker, a leadership professor at Henley Business School, University of Reading, noted potential setbacks, such as the attempt to retarget petrol subsidies and the high living costs linked to other recent subsidy cuts.
然而,挑战依然存在。来自雷丁大学亨利商学院的领导力教授莱克指出了潜在的挫败,例如试图重新调整汽油补贴和与其他最近的补贴削减相关的高生活成本。
Malaysia's journey, Laker suggested, could set a precedent for other nations navigating similar post-pandemic recoveries and structural transformations.
莱克认为,马来西亚的经验可以为其他正在经历同类后疫情复苏和结构转型的国家树立一个榜样。
