Medium-Term Economic Planning in Thailand and Malaysia – A Comparative Analysis
REGIONAL ECONOMIC STUDIES PROGRAMME WEBINAR
About the Webinar
Five-year development plans are used in Thailand and Malaysia to chart the economic trajectories in these countries in the medium term. The efficacy of such plans depends on the capacity of the planning agencies involved. This webinar evaluates the effectiveness of five-year development plan formulation and implementation in Thailand and Malaysia using insights from organization theory. The capacities of planning agencies in these countries – the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council in Thailand and the Economic Planning Unit in Malaysia – are examined at three levels, namely institutional, organizational and individual. The webinar will also discuss the 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025) and 13th National Economic and Social Development Plan (2023-2027).
