Recent announcements show that Malaysia has what it takes to remain an attractive destination for foreign investment.
FDI is infusing capital in the domestic economy, providing access to overseas markets, technology, and expertise.
Private investment share to GDP at an average of 15.5% in 2020-2022 is versus an average of 17% per year of GDP in 2015-2019. Malaysia has been consistently ranked higher than her regional peers in all the world’s benchmarking measurements such as ease of doing business, competitiveness, global opportunity index, digitalisation, etc.
Indonesia is blessed with untapped natural resources, enjoys a demographic bonus, and has a strong domestic market, with a growing middle and upper-income class. The challenge ahead is to ensure that the unity government can work together to provide durable political stability and implement credible macro-economic and financial management, the key to macroeconomic stability and growth.A good governance ecosystem as well as radical economic reforms must be pursued to provide policy certainty and clarity in restoring both public and investors’ confidence and trust.
Broad- based investment incentives represent up to 9% of total tax revenue, and there appear a mismatch between the investments the country is receiving and the industries it has targeted for growth. Focus on bold reforms to enhance Malaysia’s competitive strength relative to its regional peers in the supply of skilled and creative workforce, adapting to a rapid shift in technological advancement, state-of-the-art infrastructure, industrial development, maintain good governance and embrace best business regulatory practices.
Government’s policies and regulations play a decisive role in stimulating business activity. The rate and nature of private investment is affected by many factors, including macro-economic and political stability, physicalinfrastructure, the availability of capital, and human resources. Institutional, public policies, and regulatory factors also play an important role. They are often grouped together under the rubric of “investment climate”.
