Sustainability has become an important concept in economic growth and development in the world. Malaysia, as a rapidly developing economy in Asia, has been able to achieve a positive economic growth; however, there is a big question: is it on a sustainable growth path? Due to weaknesses of traditional GDP in reflecting sustainability path, Green GDP as an indicator of sustainability could be implemented with adjustments in calculations. This paper aims to calculate the Green GDP for Malaysia. This measure will almost give policy makers a more arguable estimate for the area of environmental challenges. This paper highlights the role of natural resources depletion and environmental damages in sustainable development of the country. Green GDP is associated with some uncertainties such as lack of comprehensive calculations in estimating data and difficulties in setting the price of natural resources. These uncertainties and how Malaysia would be able to implement more accurate Green GDP in future were also discussed.

Sustainable Economic Growth

The analysis of sustainable economic growth and development often focuses on how to control the market process through coercive state intervention. While state interventionism may play a significant role in countries’ progress, entrepreneurship is the driving force behind sustainable growth and development. Entrepreneurship is the people’s judgment on ideas, plans, and projects, which promises profit in uncertain times. Its effects are the creation and transmission of information and social coordination as a dynamic process of identifying and solving human problems. Sustainable development is the widening range of entrepreneurial alternatives open to people, and sustainable growth is a phase of sustainable development that depends on genuine savings to finance increasingly capital-intensive production structures. The degree to which people are entrepreneurs and the direction genuine savings take depend on institutional arrangements. Some institutions are more conducive to sustainable growth and development than others. After reviewing principles of growth and development sustainability, how coercive state intervention influences economic performance is discussed, proposing novel policy conclusions and research avenues to cultivate entrepreneurship and genuine savings in a post-COVID-19 world.

The process of digitalization is quick, unstoppable and it is moving in unpredictable directions. Hence, governments and policymakers should shape a digital future that makes the most of the great opportunities that digital transformation offers, in order to improve people’s lives and boost economic growth for countries, while ensuring that nobody is left behind, i.e. secure sustainable development. The “Digital Agenda for Europe”, which was developed after the 2008-2009 economic crisis, served as a framework for ICT and digitalization to boost European economy and sustainable growth. We present the research how the European Digital Agenda is integrated with sustainable goals of “Europe 2020”.

Debt Burden

One of the necessary conditions for sustainable development is the public finance stability. The policy of financial consolidation, which has been actively pursued since the 1980s, is designed to balance the budget and the debt burden so as not to expose future generations to the risk of lowering living standards. However, such a policy often becomes an obstacle to economic growth. In accordance with the concept of progressive financial consolidation, a fiscal capacity should be created, which is used to reduce the tax burden and increase budget expenditures that stimulate economic growth. Analysis of the tax burden showed that the policy of financial consolidation conducted in Russia in 2015–2018 did not stimulate the development of the sector oriented to the domestic market. Thus, fiscal policy did not meet the objectives of sustainable development.

Brundtland Report

Sustainable development (as defined by The Brundtland Report, 1987) points to development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. However, sustainable development denotes different perspectives to different audience; and for development to be truly sustainable, growth must be inclusive and demands equal attention to the tri-nexus of economy, society and the environment. Unfortunately, this is far from reality. In an effort to continue growing, economies pedestalize economic progress where attention is skewed towards economic performance with an intentional disregard of the environment and to the degradation of the environment. For the purpose of this paper, sustainable development focuses on debates between the twin-nexus of economy and the environment. This paper highlights sustainable development challenges for Singapore (an island nation). While most studies centered on Singapore‟s miraculous growth, few have examined the island‟s use of its environmental capital for economic growth. Island economies face similar development challenges like most global economies; the difference lies in their natural endowments (or the lack of). This underlines the need for policies to advance ecosystem preservation in land-scarce Singapore. With the use of a simple environmental valuation framework, it is demonstrated that the island nation has not fared too badly in protecting its environmental capital.Keywords: Ecosystem, Environmental Capital, Island Nation, Singapore, Sustainable Development

This paper discusses in detail the resource dependency of economies in countries with a high level of hydrocarbon production and income from the export of raw materials; the consequences associated with “resource dependence”; and reasons for their occurrence, as well as possible ways to overcome them. The authors establish the fact that in recent years there has been a “negative” multiplicative effect from the development of Russia’s oil and gas complex. Therefore, the goal is to identify factors of “resource dependence” that contribute to economic growth, to generalize the results of the study at the global level for key oil-exporting countries, and to draw conclusions for the Russian economy. As a methodological basis for the study, a panel data analysis method was chosen, which allows for taking into account the influence of both the dynamics and structure of changes in resource dependence factors in a regional context. The informational basis of the study was made by countries exporting hydrocarbon raw materials and classified by macro-regions, level of economic development, and degree of development of democracy. According to the analysis of panel data, the influence of resource dependence factors is not always of high importance on the economy of oil-exporting countries. The economic growth of many countries is more dependent on factors of sustainable growth that are consistent with the goals of sustainable development. The study allows us to conclude that it is advisable for countries that are currently in a condition of resource dependence to revise their development policies in the direction of differentiating the economy, primarily using the advantages of resource rent for the development of processing and manufacturing industries, as well as for the development of green energy. The results of the study can provide an analytical basis for discussions on the effective development of the oil and gas complex of Russia and the world, taking into account modern challenges and threats to sustainable development.

In the paper, a new indicator exemplifying the conversion efficiency of expenditures towards economic growth into results pertaining to sustainable development, dubbed the “Synthetic Efficiency Indicator for Economic Growth” (hereinafter: “SEI-EG”) has been proposed. The inspiration for proposing such an indicator was the identification of the lack of connections between research on economic convergence and the research area connected with sustainable growth category. It was assumed that, in the first place, outcomes of the proposed convergence will be visible in developed economies, represented by EU15 member states. The set goal was to provide an answer to the question of difference between EU15 member states with respect to efficiency of converging expenditures exemplifying economic growth into results pertaining to sustainable growth. The research was conducted for 2016–2018 using Grey System Theory. With the use of the elaborated indicator, the authors created a ranking list of countries based on the efficiency of economic growth towards sustainable growth criterion. The conducted research proved that, in general, the smaller EU member states are characterized by significantly higher efficiency of converging expenditures exemplifying economic growth into results pertaining to sustainable development in the researched area. Among the countries with large economies, only Germany showed efficiency comparable to smaller ones.

The article reveals the problems of “measuring” economic dimensions of global sustainable development of modern society, improves the existing set of indicators for an adequate quantitative assessment of economic growth and develops optimal mathematical models for integrated assessment of economic dimensions of global sustainable growth. The subject matter of the study includes the most important challenges of sustainability and direction relevant to economic activities, and also the main indicators of effectiveness of public economic policy, which provide information and scientific knowledge useful for identifying key factors of development. The main significant results of using methods of mathematical modeling for building models of economic growth have been examined. The main problem of mathematical modeling of economic component of sustainable development is an adequate choice of qualitative and quantitative indications, as well as development of more complex device for mathematical and computer modeling for analyzing features of economic phenomena and economic aspects of the function of sustainable development. It is claimed that the long-running economic crisis, a growing gap in access to advantages of economic progress, age disparity in wealth, income inequality in developed countries and increasing ecological degradation due to unsustainable practices have lead to the situation when economic policies of many countries do not adequately meet the needs of public welfare and society. The authors state that the problems enumerated above along with the sluggish growth call into question the efficiency of traditional models of economic growth. In addition, it is indicated that geopolitical tension and unstable currency are slowing down economic growth. The study provides a correlation analysis, factor analysis (principal component method), discriminant analysis (developing classification functions), and data mining (classification trees). A factor model for the quantitative assessment of economic component of sustainable development has been developed. A country classification by economic growth indicators is developed and the results are presented as a tree solution. An optimal discriminant model for building classification functions of country allocation by the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) is constructed. This index is one of the basic dimensions of a long-term economic growth relevant to analyzed economic indicators of sustainable development. It is found that GCI is an adequate dimension of economic component of global sustainable development. The Global Talent Competitiveness Index, ICT Access Index and Corruption Perception Index are the most significant for country allocation by its levels
