KUALA LUMPUR: The East Coast Rail Link is anticipated to contribute a 3.8% increase to Malaysia’s gross domestic product by 2047 by enhancing trade, boosting tourism and stimulating regional development, said the Investment, Trade and Industry Minister.
“Spanning 665km and connecting our east and west coasts, the ECRL represents Malaysia’s significant integration into a broader network of trade and cultural exchange,” he said in his keynote address at the Seminar on East Coast Rail Link-Economic Accelerator Project Business and Investment Opportunities here yesterday.
With a targeted completion date in December 2026 and operations kicking off in January 2027, the ECRL-EAP is set to enhance Malaysia’s economic landscape and connectivity, said Tengku Zafrul.
