The economy of Malaysia is the fifth largest in Southeast Asia and the 36th largest in the world in terms of GDP.[22] The 2018 labour productivity of Malaysia was measured at Int$55,360 per worker, the third highest in ASEAN.[23] The 2021 Global Competitiveness Report ranked Malaysian economy the 25th most competitive country economy in the world.[24]

Malaysians enjoy a relatively affluent lifestyle compared to many of its neighbours in Southeast Asia. This is due to a fast-growing export-oriented economy, a relatively low national income tax, highly affordable local food and transport fuel, as well as a fully subsidized single-payer public healthcare system. Malaysia has a newly industrialised market economy, which is relatively open and state-oriented.[25][26] The Malaysian economy is highly robust and diversified with the export value of high-tech products in 2020 standing at US$92.1 billion, the second highest in ASEAN.[27] Malaysia exports the second largest volume and value of palm oil products globally, after Indonesia.[28]
