Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar (Malaysian Islamic Party) has been Menteri Besar of Terengganu since 10 May 2018. Since Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar took office in May 2018, real GDP has risen 2.2% a year, against +3.7% for Malaysia. Terengganu ranks 2nd of 10 states and territories on the fall in unemployment; on pay growth it is 10th. On violent crime the two part most: −9 per 100,000 in Terengganu, −35 per 100,000 for Malaysia. Employment rate: 59.1% of the population aged 15–64 in 2025, +1.6 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.
