Forecasting Malaysia’s GDP SysCode Sdn Bhd
A new econometric forecasting model was developed for local states that measures
and tracks the short-, medium- and long-term performances of the Malaysian economy
from 2018 to 2047. The model provides valuable insights into electricity demand
planning and supply for the nation. A hands-on workshop on the new forecasting model
was conducted for research analysts from Single Buyer and RAM Consultancy Services.
Moving forward, researchers intend to develop GDP forecasting models for Malaysia
according to the economic activity at national and state levels. Students will take on industrial-based
final-year projects with the software
company to solve actual blockchain-
related issues. SysCode will also be
delivering technical seminars on campus,
providing training placements, and
employing high-performing students.
