SELECTIVE GREEN ENERGY, DIGITAL INFRA, TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS TO LIFT MALAYSIA’S MARKET LONG TERM - MOOMOO

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 (Bernama) -- Malaysia’s equity market may be consolidating in the short term, but selective investments in green energy, digital infrastructure and technology are still well placed to deliver long-term growth.

Moomoo chief market strategist, Southeast Asia, Isaac Lim said the market’s current phase of modest recovery on rate-cut optimism, followed by intraday pullbacks requires a focus on patience, selective conviction, and tactical entry points to capitalise on the long-term prospects these sectors offer.

Moomoo is an investment and trading platform founded in 2018.

“Even in a more measured market environment, long-term growth drivers in specific sectors remain intact. Malaysia’s clean energy, digital infrastructure, and technology sectors continue to attract attention due to ongoing global policy shifts and domestic policy support,” he said. 

He emphasised that approved investments surged to RM285.2 billion in the first nine months of 2025, signaling that while the broader market may be facing outflows, key sectors are still receiving significant capital flows.

“In particular, the renewable energy and technology infrastructure sectors are benefiting from both domestic policy support and global demand trends. The country’s ongoing push to become a regional hub for digital infrastructure and green energy offers long-term upside for investors positioned correctly,” he added.

He said the current market environment demands an adaptive investment mindset.

“Investors who can selectively target the right sectors, those with resilient growth drivers, are likely to see better returns, even amidst broader market challenges.

“For instance, companies that operate in regional infrastructure and digital connectivity will continue to benefit from Malaysia’s regional integration through agreements like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. This integration ensures Malaysia’s economic resilience, even as global capital stays cautious,” he said.
