Cleomar Gomes () and Clemens Nunes ()

Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 2008, vol. 28, issue 4, 577-594

Abstract: This paper aims at studying Malaysia's national development strategy in the last three decades. Firstly, we will give emphasis to the country's economic planning development, its medium-term and long-term plans, as well as Mahathir's political influence. Secondly, we will try to identify key elements in the Malaysian growth process, such as its exchange rate and current account policies, the participation of the government in the whole process and matters related to domestic savings and foreign direct investment. We will also talk about the 1997 financial crisis. JEL Classification: O11; O21; O24; O53.
