It serves as a dataset for input-output analysis which provide the tools to perform economic modelling. The construction of the input-output tables based on detailed census or surveys is a complex procedure that requires substantial financial expenditures, large human capital and time. This is the main reason why Malaysia Input-Output Table (MIOT) is produced and published on average every five years. However, for policy makers, the time lag that reflects data from much earlier years is not appropriate to be used for planning and formulating economic policies.
