Abstract

This paper examines the objectives and performances of the Industrial Master Plan (IMP), especially in the context of its export-led industrialization drive and evaluate the strategy adopted and implemented. The Government under the IMP has emphasized the importance of export-led industrialization and stressed the need to embark on a strategy of promoting manufactured exports. For this purpose, the IMP has come up with specific recommendations aimed at facilitating the growth of manufactured exports. An attempt will also be made to evaluate the implementation of this strategy, particularly, the measures that has been undertaken to increase Malaysia’s export competitiveness as a means of boosting up the growth of the national economy. Subsequently, this discussion will focus on strategic options opened for Malaysia to further expand its manufacturing export potentials and to achieve further gains from specialization in international trade, in the decades of 1990s.
