A CHRONOLOGY OF MALAYSIA’S
ECONOMIC PLANS, FROM 1956
TO THE PRESENT
Malaysia has had comprehensive
economic development plans since
1956, when the first Malaya Plan
was formulated. Encompassing five
years, each of the plans contain
broad policy thrusts under specific
areas of the Malaysian economy,
and often guide the policies that are
implemented within that time frame.

Malaysia Plans since 1966, as well as
the Malaya Plans of 1956 and 1960.
These are presented in a convenient
visual timeline, available for free

includes useful statistics, such as
GDP per capita, population size,
unemployment and inflation rates at
the beginning and end of each five
year period.
