13th Malaysia Plan: Building a resilient, inclusive and sustainable future

The 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) is Malaysia's socio-economic roadmap for 2026-2030 and beyond. Aligned with the 'Ekonomi MADANI' principles, the 13MP prioritises sustainable growth, resilience and shared prosperity. Our Centre Stage publication provides key insights into the plan including the macroeconomic prospects, growth and investment opportunities, cost implications for businesses, corporate and industry reforms, and the way forward.

Continuous reinvention is a strategic advantage. Businesses that stay ahead of these changes can better capitalise on new market opportunities and turn potential barriers into pathways for growth. ​

Unlocking opportunities in the 13MP

The 13MP projects steady GDP growth, underpinned by strategic investments in key sectors and a strong push for ‘Made by Malaysia’ products and services. Businesses can leverage the plan's reforms in digitalisation, AI and sustainability to capitalise on new growth opportunities, particularly within high-growth high-value (HGHV) industries.

The 13MP marks a transformative period of strategic shifts, creating new opportunities in HGHV industries. By focusing on digitalisation, sustainable practices, and building a skilled workforce, companies can proactively adapt their strategies and unlock a successful future.​

The 13MP outlines several notable reforms—from labour and wage policies to environmental standards, healthcare access, public service delivery and social wellbeing—which are set to impact the private sector. Businesses need to proactively understand these changes and adapt their strategies to remain compliant while capitalising on emerging opportunities.
