We used three productivity indicators adopted from the Malaysia Productivity Corporation.These indicators are competitiveness indicator,labour productivity indicator and capital productivity indicator.

Of the three indicators, the labour productivity indicator had shown positive contribution whereas the remaining two indicators i.e. competitiveness and capital productivity had resulted in negative feedback.
