What kind of economic system did Malaysia have before imperialism?
Malaysia became a country in 1957, and did not exist as an independent entity until then. The economy is a mixed export market economy, with electronics having the largest share. Due to their disengagement from the U.S. dollar, the economy has struggled over the past few years, and because of the worldwide slump in the IT industry. The economy remains dependent on continued growth in the US, China, and Japan – top export destinations and key sources of foreign investment.
