Kalau tengok pendapatan perkapita, orang cina dan orang india lagi kaya drp orang melayu DEB telah meningkatkan pendapatan bumiputera dengan lebih cepat. Misalnya pada tahun 2004 pendapatan purata bumiputera adalah sebanyak RM2,711 setahun tetapi pada tahun 2007 ia telah meningkat sehingga 5.2 peratus kepada RM3,156 setahun.
