Abstract.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) including microenterprises have played an important role in fostering growth, employment and income, and have been integral to Malaysia’s economic transformation process. The Malaysia government is targeting for SMEs to contribute at least 40% to the economic growth in 2016. It is crucial that the government must precisely know which sector in its economy contributes the most, which have the potential to generate greater future growth and which sectors are weak and need supports to survive in the competitive economy. Hence, this study examines the contribution of SMEs industry towards Malaysian economic growth. For this study we employ a range of statistical tools based on and trend analysis of the contribution of SMEs towards Gross Domestic Product. The sample data is SMEs by sectors for the period of 2005 – 2016. In this study we found that SMEs are important to the Malaysian economies which comprise 99.2% of total business establishments, where SMEs contributed 32% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

5 Conclusion and Implications

The role of small and medium enterprises is worldwide acknowledged for their unique contribution to the economic development. Both the developed countries and the ones in course of development realise that the SMEs and the entrepreneurs play a vital role in the industrial development of a country. So, there is no surprise that the political strategists have often thought that the SMEs can become the “seed” of economic revival. In this study we found that the SMEs are important to the Malaysia economies which comprise 99.2% of total business establishments, where SMEs contribute 32% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). SMEs as a whole and all the SME sub-sectors have a high correlation with GDP which shows their significance. Services sector contributes as a biggest chunk of total SMEs and is growing with a fast pace. Mining and quarrying has been the smallest sector which might be due to high competition and intensive capital requirements which are necessary part of the sector. Services based SME sector basically includes tourism, education, medical services etc. which can be promoted to grow further.
