How is this data produced?
Gross domestic product (GDP) is the total value of goods and services produced within that year, after deducting the cost of goods and services used in production, but before deducting the consumption of fixed capital. In Malaysia, GDP is estimated in compliance with the System of National Accounts (2008). Gross national income (GNI) is derived as GDP plus net factor incomes from abroad. For a full description of the methodology, please refer to the Technical Notes.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
Values for 1954 are not available as data for that year was not collected. GDP and GNI values for 2022 and 2023 may be revised in future releases. Furthermore, per capita values will be revised in parallel with any published revisions to Malaysia's population data. Finally, it should be noted that the scope of 'national' changes across the time series, as follows:
- Values for 1947-53 refer to the Federation of Malaya and Singapore.
- Values for 1955-59 refer to the Federation of Malaya (which included Singapore).
- Values for 1960-62 refer to Peninsular Malaysia only (i.e. excluding Singapore).
- Values from 1963 onwards refer to Malaysia as currently defined, including Sabah and Sarawak, and excluding Singapore.
