How large is the creative economy?

Prior Reading: Malaysia’s creative industry contribution to GDP remains low by Dr. Tan Beng Huat

Leinn Arts February 24, 2022 0Comments

The United Nations General Assembly established on their 74th session, 2021 as the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development; which confirmed the rising role of creative economy on the global stage. 1

The creative economy, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is “an evolving concept based on creative assets potentially generating economic growth and development” , was one of the fastest growing sectors in every region of the world – North and South, East and West – before the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. 2

The creative economy has been considered as highly transformative because of its capacity on income generation, job creation and export earnings with spillover effects that stimulated innovation in other sectors.

It represents 3% of world economy GDP and around 30 million jobs worldwide, according to UNESCO’s data. Extrapolating from earlier trends suggests that the creative economy could grow 40% by 2030, adding more than 8 million additional jobs.

According to the report The future of creative economy by Deloitte (2021)

“The creative economy is a means of addressing important social and cultural needs. It can provide cultural representation by presenting a diverse range of human experiences. It can aid social cohesion, among the population at large or particular communities, by enabling the sharing of common narratives about the contemporary, historical or mythical world in which we live. The creative economy is the part of the economy that tells our stories and the creative works we leave behind as a society are likely to define how future generations understand us.

The creative economy is also valuable to the extent that its association with individual creativity implies that it often involves the creation of new knowledge, which will create wider benefits through spillovers to other sectors. Creative industries often create technical innovations, most notably in the IT sector. The creative industries also support the diffusion of knowledge, for example through publishing. The news media in particular, but other parts of the creative economy as well, can also support democratic accountability through sharing information about current events, investigating institutions, and challenging decision-making.”

The creative economy is large and growing. For analysing how it impacts on the different economies in the world the data of Colombia, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Turkey and the United Kingdom has been selected.

In Colombia, the cultural and creative industries contributed 3% to the gross domestic product in 2019, and it reached a record result of USD 238 million in terms of exports.

In Germany, the cultural and creative industries contributed 3,1% to the gross domestic and represented 7% of total employment in the country in 2018.

In Japan,the cultural and creative industries contributed between 6.5m and 9.3m and represented 10-14% of total employment in the country in 2018.

In México, the cultural and creative industries contributed 3,5% to the gross domestic product in 2019, and it reached a record result of USD 5.200 million in terms of exports.

In Nigeria, the music industry was growing at an annual rate of 13.4%. The Nigerian film industry, known as “Nollywood”, employs about one million people and, with over 2,000 films produced per year, was ahead of Hollywood.

In South Africa, the cultural and creative industries contributed 1,5% to the gross domestic product in 2018 and represented 7% of total employment in the country in 2018.

In South Korea, the cultural and creative industries contributed around 850,000 rising to over 1m in 2018, around 4% of total employment in the country.

In Spain, the cultural and creative industries contributed 900,00m in 2018, around 5% of total employment in the country.

In Turkey, the cultural and creative industries contributed 600,000m, around 2.5% of total employment in the country.

In the UK, the cultural and creative industries contributed over 3.1m in 2018, 10% of total employment in the country.

Investment in creative economy bearing fruit

By: Anthea Peter

IN 2012, a Government investment arm dubbed “MyCreative Ventures Sdn Bhd” was launched to spur the country’s creative industry.

This is primarily done via strategic and innovative funding through debt or equity investments in Malaysian creative companies.

MyCreative was incorporated on April 20, 2012 under the Malaysian Companies Act 1965 by the Minister of Finance (Incorporated) [‘MOF(Inc)’] and now reports to the Multimedia and Communications Ministry.

Last year, MyCreative appointed Junady Nawawi as its Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) who bears the responsibility of navigating the corridors of multiple stakeholders to make the Orange Economy matter for creatives.

Noor Azmi Mat Said was also appointed as MyCreative’s Non-Executive Chairman last year.

From the allocated funds, MyCreative invests in equities and gives out loans to potential and viable creative Malaysian businesses with a mission to achieve three goals.

This includes boosting the attractiveness of Malaysia’s creative industry, subsequently creating more jobs.

It also has a goal to increase the creative industry’s gross income and make significant contributions to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and thus increase Malaysia’s GDP.

Additionally, it also aims to elevate the status of Malaysia’s creative industry via public awareness and social impact.

Private Debt funding requires Malaysian-owned businesses operating under a Sendirian Berhad entity to be incorporated in Malaysia with minimum RM20,000 paid-up capital & at least one year in operation.

Private Equity would require a minimum three years business track record.

Such funding by My Creative supports 10 main creative pillars in Malaysia, namely Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Music, Literature, Content Creation, Fashion, Traditional & Cultural Arts, Culinary Arts, Design and Creative Education.

Some notable successful brands that were previously funded under MyCreative include dUCk, Christy Ng, My Apparel Zoo and Oyez! Books, among others.

To further support creative industries in Malaysia, the MyCreative Group established its subsidiaries, “Riuh” and the Economic Development Agency of Cultural Art (Cendana) in 2017.

Comment by Suyuu on September 13, 2022 at 12:40pm

Riuh, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MyCreative Ventures is a curated creative platform that hosts an eclectic array of pop-up stores, international and local food, creative workshops, showcases and live acts on a regular basis.

Whereas Cendana is a division under MyCreative that develops and promotes Malaysia’s cultural economy.

It acts as a link between creators, regulating bodies, private investors or businesses, policy makers and consumers.

Positioning itself as an umbrella body with sufficient resources and expertise, it aspires to elevate Malaysian arts and showcase its diverse beauty on the local, regional and global stage – transforming Malaysia into a cultural destination.

Under the 2022 National Budget, the Government allocated RM20 million towards Riuh Keluarga Malaysia Programmes while RM30 million was allocated to elevate local animation.

MyCreative Chairman Noor Azmi Mat Said that the creative economy is significant in achieving the Government’s aspiration for the industry.

He said the Government aspires for the industry to contribute RM31.9 billion to Malaysia’s GDP by 2025, as outlined in the Twelfth Malaysia Plan.

Noor Azmi said the “Orange Economy” has massive potential to be harnessed given the country’s rich pool of talents which include practitioners in visual art, performances, music, crafts, fashion, writing and talent from the technical arts such as design including industrial design.

砂州有意設小航空公司，載客出口農產品推動經濟

砂拉越計劃設立小型航空公司，並由砂拉越政府所持有的犀鳥航空（Hornbill Skyways）經營。

砂拉越首席部長阿邦佐哈里指出，這有助於推動砂拉越經濟，可出口農產品及滿足個人通行和旅遊需求。

「我們需要自己的小型航空公司，不是大型的，只要能容納100至200名乘客小飛機。載遊客進來，我們不依賴其他航空公司。」

他今日出席柏布林（愛墾註：Bebuling, Spaoh, Central Sarawak）短跑道機場動土禮後在記者會上這麽說。

阿邦佐哈裏指出，初步計劃，該航空將提供砂拉越直飛吉隆坡、新加坡、泰國、印尼及香港，同時也專注在策略樞紐。

他認為，該航空可通過即將在2023年9月竣工及耗資1億810萬令吉的布林短跑道機場，為鄉區的農業及旅遊業發展貢獻。

「這機場也充作重要的交通中心，除了靠近巴當艾旅遊景點，也能從木中、實巴荷及鄰近地區運載食品。」（馬新社 Nov 30, 2021)

改善內陸銜接 木中加帛建機場

（古晉30日訊）木中（Betong）即將迎來首個機場，加帛也即將興建新的機場，預計在2023年第三季度竣工。

砂副首長兼砂基本設施與海港發展部部長丹斯裏占瑪欣於今日發文告表示，砂拉越政府正致力於加強郊區經濟轉型和航空服務的承諾。因此，計劃在加帛的武吉瑪豐（Bukit Mabong）和木中實巴荷的柏布林（Bebuling）興建機場。

他稱，在加帛，當局鑒定武吉瑪豐為在大馬航空委員會下的新的郊區航空服務的路線。武吉瑪豐的地點偏僻，人口稀少，約有5萬人，該區擁有嚴重的接駁的問題，因此被認為是適當的地點。

他指出，當局在獲得各利益相關者的意見後，選擇實巴荷（Spaoh）的柏布林來興建機場來改善航空接駁。這也將改善該地區的農作品運輸的問題。

他披露，武吉瑪豐機場建築工程耗資1.735億令吉，包括790米的跑道，可以容納雙獺型客機和塞斯納208飛機，負載為3噸。投標將在2020年7月15日之前授予承包商，成本談判將在2020年8月進行，中標通知書預計在2020年9月中旬發出。

至於柏布林機場，他透露，有關的機場預計會在近期內展開。該工程耗資9140萬令吉，預計在近期開工，招標文件預計在7月15日發給承包商，8月為發中標通知書。

他稱，柏布林機場地點的土壤情況也讓有關工程的初期工作具挑戰。惟，當局將接受有關的挑戰並把人民的安全作為優先。

他說，武吉瑪豐和柏布林將提貨運和客運承運人。柏布林的貨運將需要36個月來完成。（詩華日報 2020年6月30日）

The agri-food and tourism sectors in Betong District

KUCHING, Nov 30: The Bebuling Airport in Spaoh will become an important logistics hub and enabler which drives, supports and sustains the agri-food and tourism sectors in Betong District.

Construction on the RM108 million short take off and landing airport (STOLport) featuring a 790-metre runway, a 185-metre taxiway, two units of aircraft parking spaces, a terminal building and a watch tower have commenced with completion scheduled in September 2023.

Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg pointed out that transport is vital to every industry, including agriculture to ensure an efficient supply chain, and tourism to enable people to reach places they desire to visit.

「Access to markets is important for agriculture and tourism development as these two are among the main economic activities in Betong. The airport is to connect the movement of cargo and people. I am here today to fulfill my promise today.

「Betong is part of the food basket areas in Sarawak. Apart from that, cattle rearing is also being developed in Salcra farms and other oil palm plantations with plans for a slaughterhouse to be set up,」 he told a press conference after officiating at the ground breaking ceremony for the Bebuling Airport in Spaoh today.

So from the agriculture perspective, Abang Johari said, the Bebuling STOLport will cater for the cargo transportation by air in food basket areas including Bukit Sadok.

「We need to bring our produce to the markets and air cargo is important especially for perishable produce with a short life span to reach the end destination in a consumable state,」 he added.

With efforts ongoing to position Sarawak as a net food exporter by 2030 as well as an office set up in Singapore offering a range of local produce and products including tilapia fish, midin and even gula apong already exported there, Abang Johari said the airport will improve the productivity and growth of Sarawak』s economy and uplift the rural community.

「This is our long-term strategy considering the importance of food security in Malaysia and globally. Sarawak still has a lot of room for development especially with technology,」 he said.

Comment by Suyuu on September 13, 2022 at 11:38am

As for tourism, he emphasised that better air connectivity is crucial to promote Batang Ai and the historical Bukit Sadok which was the last bastion for Dayak Iban nationalist warrior Rentap in his fight against the White Rajah rule, as tourist attractions and destinations in Betong District.

「With this, tourists can take a flight here from Kuching which only takes one hour compared to my experience when I was a tourism minister where I brought travel agents from Hong Kong (to Batang Ai) which took a four-hour bus ride. They said it was too long and tiring,」 he shared.

Apart from Bebuling, a STOLport is also being developed in Bukit Mabong, Kapit and an airport in Lawas which Abang Johari described as a multi-pronged strategy that will benefit the State』s economy and provide more opportunities for the local community.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, Assistant Minister of Transport Datuk Dr Jerip Susil, Betong MP Datuk Robert Chuat Lawson as well as incumbents Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu (Layar), Razaili Gapor (Beting Maro) and Mohd Razi Sitam (Saribas) were among those present.（https://manred.sarawak.gov.my/modules/web/pages.php?mod=news&su...）

State has enough local products to export, says Uggah

By：Nur Ashikin

KUCHING: Sarawak is confident of having more local products with the potential for export.

「I was concerned with not having enough local products to export in the past but I am no longer worried now,」 Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said after taking a walk round the 『My Best Buy (MBB) Direct Sales From Farm (JTDL)』 programme at the Old Legislative Assembly building here yesterday.

He said with enough products to sell, Sarawak is ready to look closely at the proposal to have own aircraft to facilitate transportation of these products.

「I was informed that Fama (Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority) is bringing one ton of banana per week. Another company that I met is also going to have coconut for export. Thus, we can move towards increasing our food production,」 he told the reporters after launching the event.

He continued, 「The first strategy is to utilise the Collection, Processing, and Packaging Centre (CPCC). One of the centres is in Tarat, Serian and is still in the final phase of upgrading.

「Later on, we will look at the whole supply chain and facilities. For the farm, we have the facilities for initial packaging, and then wholesale areas. For example, we have been exporting almost 70 tons of durian paste this year.

「Before processing, the products have to go through a process of withholding in cold temperature of minus 45 degrees so the products can last long. All these facilities must be made available within the CPCC to ensure our products meet the requirements before being exported,」 he added.（March 1, 2019，https://sarawakvoice.com/2019/03/01/state-has-enough-local-products...）
