Malaysia has announced RM431.1 billion in approved investments for 2025 and RM218.5 billion in the first half of 2026, showcasing investor confidence in the country. These figures were highlighted during the B57+ Business Leaders' Summit 2026 in Istanbul, Türkiye. MIDA chairman, Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, emphasized that Malaysia is a gateway to the ASEAN market, presenting various opportunities for cooperation in industries such as semiconductor, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, clean energy, and halal sectors.
Tengku Zafrul also pointed out that 87% of the 5,822 manufacturing projects approved between 2021 and June 2026 have reached different stages of implementation. He stressed that the success of these investments should be measured not only by the amount of investment secured but also by creating quality jobs, technology transfers, and opportunities for local companies.
