ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS REPORT 2010-2011 ______________________________________________________ The Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) 2010-2011 by the World Economic Forum (WEF) based in Geneva, Switzerland covers 139 countries (GCR 2009-2010: 133 countries). GCR uses 30% statistical data (32 criteria) and 70% survey data (79 criteria) from its Executive Opinion Survey. A total of 110 executives from Malaysian companies responded to the survey administered from February to April 2010. GCR examined factors enabling economies to achieve sustained economic growth and long term prosperity through its 12 pillars of competitiveness involving 111 indicators. The 12 pillars are Institutions, Infrastructure, Macroeconomic Environment, Health and Primary Education, Higher Education and Training, Goods Market Efficiency, Labour Market Efficiency, Financial Market Development, Technological Readiness, Market Size, Business Sophistication and Innovation. In the GCR 2010-2011, the top ten most competitive economies are Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, the United States, Germany, Japan, Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark and Canada. Malaysia is ranked at the 26th position with an improvement in overall competitiveness index to 4.88 out of 7 from 4.87 in 2009. Among Asia Pacific countries, Malaysia MITI Weekly Bulletin Sources: MITI, Malaysia Palm Oil Board and Bloomberg 05 GCR 2010-2011 highlights a number of positive elements about the Malaysian economy. Malaysia is assessed to have a well-developed financial market (7th) and an efficient goods market (27th). Malaysia also does relatively well in more complex categories, which matter the most for advanced economies, namely business sophistication (25th) and innovation (24th). WEF recommended that for Malaysia to improve its competitiveness further, Malaysia needs to improve its higher education system - specifically on increasing enrollment rates at the secondary and tertiary levels. There is also a need to further encourage greater technological adoption. Malaysia has to prepare its conversion into an innovation-driven country where companies compete through innovation, producing new value-added and different goods using the most sophisticated production processes. Malaysia has taken proactive measures to enhance its competitiveness such as the New Economic Model (NEM) which emphasises on achieving high income, the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) to enhance government efficiency, and the implementation Micro-finance of initiatives under the Tenth Malaysia Plan. Entry Point Projects (EPP) in the areas of healthcare and education would augur well for the Malaysian healthcare and education services. A notable initiative in line with the Key Result Area (KRA) to reduce crime is that the police had stepped up measures by deploying more personnel in crime prone areas to create police visibility and make their presence felt to deter crimes and violence. It is imperative that the implementation of these programmes and initiatives are expedited so that results can be felt in the near future.

It provides small loans, also known as micro-loans, to start or expand small and self-sufficient businesses. Through their own ingenuity and the support of the lending micro-finance institution (MFI), owners of micro-enterprises are able to start their journey out of poverty. Unlike commercial loans, no collateral is required for a micro-loan which is usually GCI 2010-2011 repaid within six months to a year. These funds are then reutilised as other loans, keeping money working and in the hands of borrowers. Micro-finance clients boast very high repayment rates. Through microfinancing, viable businesses can have easy, fast and convenient access to financing. Micro-financing is an important mechanism for micro enterprises to achieve economic balance. MITI Weekly Bulletin is ranked 8th position, ahead of countries like China (9th), Thailand (11th), Indonesia (12th), India (13th) and the Philippines (16th) (Table 1). Malaysia scored highest in the Legal Rights Index, together with Hong Kong SAR and Singapore. Malaysia also scored high on the Strength of Investor Protection, ranked 4th after New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong SAR. 06 No. FIs / DFIs Interest Rate 1.

Compliance to the standard is still on a voluntary basis. This Malaysian Standard is based on the United Nations approved GHS second revised edition issued by United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). The MS 1804:2008 is to standardise and harmonise product hazard communication system in various sectors of industrial workplace, transportation, agriculture and consumer products. It includes the harmonised criteria for classifying substances and mixtures according to health, environmental and physical hazards; and harmonised hazard communications elements, including requirement for labelling and safety data sheet. The scope of the MS 1804:2008 covers manufacturing, processing, handling, use, treatment, storage, transport and disposal. Pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics and pesticide residues in food will not be covered by the standard in terms of labelling at the point of intentional intake. However, where workers may be exposed during transportation, these chemicals would then be covered. The GHS applies to pure chemical substances, their dilute solutions and to mixtures of chemical substances. “Articles” are outside the scope of the system. The purpose of the standard is to prevent accidents, poisoning and illness resulting from the use of hazardous chemicals. The GHS will enhance the protection of human health and the environment by providing national comprehensible system for hazard communication. The target audiences for the standard include consumers, workers, transport workers and emergency responders. It is intended to be used by industry in classifying and labelling their products according to specified criteria and to formulate safety data sheets. This standard could also be cross referenced to legislations developed in this country based on the GHS.

This information sharing initiative will also serve as a platform for better understanding of the multilateral trading system. The first in this series talks about Tariffs. Tariffs, also called customs duties, refer to financial charges in the form of a government tax imposed on imports and exports. It is the most common form of barrier to market access for goods. In general, tariffs are categorised into two forms: • Ad-valorem: expressed as a percentage form e.g. 20%. • Non Ad-valorem: e.g. $25 per tonne or 15% and $25 per tonne. There are four categories of Non Ad- valorem Duties : i. Specific Duties • Duties expressed as a monetary amount per unit of quantity of the goods e.g. 5 cents per kilogram or RM1.10 per litre. ii. Mixed Duties • A combination of specific duty and advalorem tariff, of which both elements are payable e.g. 15% and $25 per tonne. iii. Compound Duties • A combination of specific duty and advalorem tariff, but it is the higher rate that is payable e.g. 15% or $25 per tonne whichever is the higher (w.i.t.h). iv. Matrix Duties • A combination of any type of duty based on a specific criteria. For example under the European Commission (EC) tariffs, a product containing 6-9% milk fat, 4-15% milk proteins, 5-25% starch/glucose and 30-50% sucrose/invert sugar/iso glucose would refer to code 7307 in the Measuring table. The Royal Malaysian Customs uses advalorem, specific, mixed and compound duties. Here are some examples of Malaysian tariffs: Tariff Code Description Unit Import Type Dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes and mangosteens, fresh or dried. 0804 0804 20 000 -Figs KGM 5% Ad-Valorem 0804 30 000 -Pineapples KGM RM0.608/KGM Specific 0804 50 100 Guavas KGM 5% and RM0.4409 Mixed 7315 11 7315 11 KGM 30% or RM1.90 w.i.t.h Compound - - Roller Chain 920 Industrial or conveyor type of pitch length not less than 75 mm but not more than 152 mm We hope that the illustration have provided a good understanding on the basic concept of tariffs. MWB will elaborate tariff codes in the next issue.
