Abstract

This aim of this study is to analyse the structure of Sarawak economy through constructing the regional input-output table (RIOT). Limited studies on regional input-output in Malaysia made this study essential to study the economics of Sarawak. This table is a valuable tool for developing the economy as it gives an overview of Sarawak's economic structure. The construction of the RIOT applied the RAS technique using the data from 2015. This regional table assumes Sarawak's technology level and the nation are the same. Results of the study indicate Sarawak's economy has a high dependency on natural resource sectors, especially mining and quarrying, and petroleum products. However, although the output generation for some sectors are lower, those sectors still give significant contribution to the primary inputs of Sarawak economy.
