The agreement, signed by MyCC chairman Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Idrus bin Harun and DOSM chief statistician Dato’ Sri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin, formalises joint work on data sharing, capacity-building and expertise exchange. It follows a ceremony in Putrajaya witnessed by MyCC CEO Datuk Haji Iskandar bin Ismail and DOSM deputy chief statistician Puan Siti Asiah binti Ahmad.
DOSM said the partnership leverages MyCC’s global-standard economic research to sharpen data analysis and widen use of official statistics in tracking domestic and global economic patterns. MyCC described the deal as timely, framing data and analytics as essential tools for competition-policy decisions in the data-driven global economy.
