This is the third publication of its kind produced by the global publishing, research and consultancy firm; this time highlighting the State’s drive to develop its value-added industries in diversifying the economy away from extraction.
It consists of in-depth analysis of sectors and initiatives that are not only supporting the state’s economy, but also Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia, including agriculture, transport, tourism, energy, and especially the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE).
It also features interviews from various ministers, government and private agencies leaders, and international personalities – from the Chief Minister and the State Secretary to Brunei’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade II and the Secretary-General of ASEAN.
“Aside from the infrastructural development in transport, telecoms and power, Sarawak is looking to achieve results by setting specific targets for growth in sectors such as retail and agriculture,” said OBG Managing Editor for Asia, Paulius Kuncinas.
“Our report anticipates the next chapter in the state’s growth story, as SCORE beds in and ASEAN integration edges towards completion.”
