Sarawak will benefit from all the 11 National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs) that are industry sectors under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) and 68 Entry Point Projects (EPPs), with emphasis on Oil, Gas & Energy, Electrical & Electronics, Palm Oil and Agriculture.<\/font><\/p>\n

The remaining industry sector NKEAs as identified in the 10th Malaysia Plan are Financial Services, Tourism, Business Services, Wholesale & Retail, Education, Healthcare and Communications Content & Infrastructure. The NKEA of Greater Kuala Lumpur\/ Klang Valley is a geographical location. A NKEA is a driver of economic activity that has the potential to directly and materially contribute to a quantifiable amount of economic growth.<\/font><\/p>\n

The ETP will kick-start Malaysia\u2019s drive towards high-income nation status with 131 EPPs and 60 Business Opportunities (BOs)<\/font><\/p>\n

As announce by the Prime Minister Dato\u2019Sri Najib Tun Razak, the ETP aims to almost triple the country\u2019s Gross National Income (GNI) from RM660 billion (US$188 billion) in 2009 to close to RM1.7 trillion (US$523 billion) in 2020. This translates into an increase of GNI per capita from RM23,000 (US$6,700) to at least RM48,000 (US$15,000),meeting World Bank\u2019s high-income nation benchmark. The country is expected to grow its GNI at 6 percent between 2011 and 2020 to hit the target.<\/font><\/p>\n

The ETP is the culmination of a substantial body of work to develop the Government\u2019s economic agenda, building on the 10th Malaysia Plan, the New Economic Model (NEM), and the principles of 1Malaysia, People First, Performance Now.<\/i><\/font><\/div>\n
