Agas-Free Zone To Kuala Lumpur Major Urban Nodes Industry Nodes Tourism Nodes GAMBANG Cattle Integration in Oil Palm Plantations (Kemaman) The ECER SEZ is a concentration of high-impact projects within an integrated development zone located at the nucleus of the ECER – the 25km by 140km strip that extends from Kertih, in Terengganu to Pekan, in Pahang. It comprises new townships, international tourism sites, 4 ports, 2 airports and knowledge innovation zones. It is the most ideal stretch along the east coast for further urbanisation, given its established cities and towns. The ECER SEZ acts as a catalyst for focused decentralisation of economic activities in line with the New Economic Model. It will accelerate growth with focused concentration, where manufacturing and commercial activities are promoted and conducted on preferential excise terms, supported by good infrastructure development as well as knowledge-based and capacity-building programmes. The ECER SEZ is the only zone of its kind in Malaysia, set to experience unprecedented growth and generate a ripple of development throughout the ECER through its significant multiplier effects. It is now one of the larger SEZs in Asia with 390,000 hectares comprising 25,000 hectares of SEZ Nodes. The population of the ECER SEZ will grow to 1.3 million, accompanied by the targeted creation of 220,000 new jobs by 2020. Its economy will move from labour-intensive industries to high-technology, knowledge-based activities and the service sector. Although the ECER SEZ forms only 6% of the landmass of the entire ECER, it will have a significant impact as it will create 50% of all jobs and 80% of the economic output of the ECER. The ECER SEZ is poised to become a strategic destination for investors given its position to access the vast markets of the Far East and the Asia Pacific, with a total population of 4 billion and a combined GDP of US$17 trillion. Investment within the ECER SEZ is estimated to total RM90 billion up to 2020.
