Background:
With a population of just over 26 million, Malaysia's domestic market is relatively small compared to many of its ASEAN neighbors. However, with a per capita income of $14,800 (in purchasing power parity terms), Malaysia is also one of the wealthiest markets in the region, making it an important source of economic activity in Southeast Asia.
