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

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.

MICRO-FINANCING FOR SMEs
__________________________________
is a proven tool for fighting
poverty on a large scale. 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.

THE MALAYSIAN STANDARD ON GLOBALLY HARMONISED SYSTEM (GHS)
FOR CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING OF CHEMICALS (MS 1804:2008)
_____________________________________________________________________________
The
Malaysian Standard on Globally
Harmonised System (GHS) for Classification
and Labelling of Chemicals - Specification for
the Classification, Labelling and Formulation of
Safety Data Sheet for Chemical Products was
developed in 2008. 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.

WTO FOR ALL
_______________
(MTPN) Division, MITI is providing a series of
articles on terms, principles and concepts in the
WTO. 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:
