KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) today announced Malaysia’s investment figures for first quarter of 2025 (Q12025), securing RM89.8 billion in approved investments, marking a steady 3.7% year-on-year increase despite a challenging and less favourable global economic backdrop.
These investments, spread across 1,556 projects in manufacturing, services, and primary sectors, are set to generate over 33,300 new employment opportunities for Malaysians. The results reflect continued investor confidence in the country’s clear policies and longterm fundamentals, bucking the trend of cautious international capital flows due to geopolitical and macroeconomic volatility, as well as intensifying global competition for fresh investments.
