M'sia's ranking in competitiveness index set to improve - Zafrul

The government is confident that Malaysia’s position in the IMD’s World Competitiveness Ranking 2025 will improve compared to this year, driven by the increase in high-technology product exports.

Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz said the reduction in the country’s high-technology exports had influenced Malaysia’s lower positioning in the IMD list last year, and this was a short-term situation that is expected to improve this year.
