The economic structure of Malaysia can be divided into the following sectors:

3. Sarawak: Rubber, Pepper and Timber
Palm oil and rubber are the major foreign exchange earners in the primary sector. In the 1960s, the
country’s forest reserves depleted at a high rate. Active steps have been taken to plant high-value trees
and various timber species.
Secondary Sector: Malaysia’s diversified manufacturing sector is the backbone of its economy. The
growth of the manufacturing sector is visible in its 30% contribution to the GDP in 1999 as compared to
13.9% in 1970. Electronic components contribute a significant share in Malaysia’s manufactures and
exports. It is the largest exporter of semiconductor devices and electrical goods and appliances in the
world.
Tertiary Sector: The service sector of Malaysia predominantly comprises Islamic banking, finance,
telecommunications and tourism. In an effort to attract foreign direct investment, Malaysian Prime
minister Najib Tun Razak introduced a variety of measures for this sector. There are expectations of
Malaysian IT spending to be at $4.5bn in 2010 from US$4.2bn in 2009 due to economic recovery.
