Technical Working Group on Financial Services (TWGFS)

About

 

Technical Working Group on Public and Private Sectors Efficiency (TWGPPSE) and Technical Working Group on Digital Economy (TWGDE) had been amalgamated into Technical Working Group on Financial Services (TWGFS).

Financial Services is one of the ten topics reflective of the life-cycle of the firm and its market participation in the B-Ready Report. Financial systems promote economic growth, improve shock resilience, encourage business formalisation, and reduce poverty and inequality. Firms need sound and balanced financial regulations and access to financial services.

B-Ready measures the regulatory framework of financial services in terms of the quality of regulations for commercial lending, secured transactions, e-payments and green financing, the provision of public services for accessibility of information in the credit infrastructure and access to finance, and the efficiency of receiving financial services in practice

Focus Area

  • Digital Infrastructure

    Digital connectivity issues in Malaysia, highlighting the country’s widespread availability of basic internet access, slower speeds but higher prices than the average high-income country and slow growth in ultrafast broadband services.

  • Digital Skills

    Human capital constraints are Malaysia’s biggest barrier to fully developing the digital economy.

    Numerous studies have identified the lack of digital skills as a critical barrier to economic transformation.

    Malaysia’s education system has not been successful in preparing adequate numbers of graduates for its high-tech export industries, let alone the increasing demands of the digital economy
