The study was prompted by the Word Bank data that showed a gloomy record or data about the national savings of the country. The study is based on secondary data of the 1974 - 2013 periods. All variables used are found significant except the one variable (inflation). A variety of statistical techniques such as multiple regression, T- test, F-test, correlation analysis and coefficient of determination were used to analyze the data collected. The model is going through a transformation of Log10. Result of the study concluded Gross Domestic Product (GDP), deposit interest rate and government expenditure play significant role in determining the national savings of Malaysia and coefficient analysis showed that GDP and inflation give positive impact in increasing national savings while deposit interest rate and government expenditure possessing negative relation with national savings of the country. The coefficient results of the study show that (except deposit interest rate) all variables are consistent with the theory.
