Abang Johari Openg (Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu) has been Premier of Sarawak since 13 Jan 2017. Since Abang Johari Openg took office in January 2017, real GDP has risen 2.4% a year, against +3.9% for Malaysia. Among the 10 states and territories with a year or more of figures, Sarawak ranks 3rd on pay growth and 10th on the fall in unemployment. The violent crime moved −12 per 100,000 in Sarawak against −39 per 100,000 for Malaysia. Poverty rate: 8.4% of households below the poverty line in 2024, +7.8 percentage points since day zero. From 2020 the population estimates follow the 2020 census: the step is the recount, not a change in the year. From 2019 the poverty line follows DOSM's revised 2019 method, which raised it: the rate jumps for that reason.
