Malaysia (MY) is covered on EconEarth’s interactive globe with economy, market, and country data drawn from the same dataset used in the live app.
A mid sized Asian economy that combines palm oil and energy with a serious electronics and semiconductor export base. Infrastructure is better than in much of the region and public institutions are relatively capable. Politics can be noisy, but the economic structure is strong and growing. The country is very open, culturally as much as economically, so a slowdown in the world economy would hurt it a good deal.
