Malaysia, a Modern Miracle: Is It About to Become a NIC (Newly Industrializing Country)?

Abstract

This study examines the status of the economy of Malaysia to determine whether it qualifies as being a Newly Industrializing Country (NIC). It concludes that Malaysia does not qualify as a NIC because the country's primary sources of export earning come from agricultural commodities and minerals. The growth rate of the economy has now become inadequate to propel the country much further toward NIC status. (Author)
