On behalf of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) Malaysia, we are pleased to invite you to join us for a forum discussing Malaysia's transitions towards a high value-added and high-income economy. With a particular focus on the financial sector to be more competitive, dynamic, inclusive, diversified and integrated, Malaysia's view is that the growth of the financial system should be ultimately anchored to the growth in the real sector. In that context, the panelists will discuss Malaysia's transition into a developed nation by 2020 by way of intensifying economic integration and internationalizing Malaysia's financial system.
