KUALA LUMPUR, March 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysia recorded RM426.7 billion in approved investments for 2025, the highest level ever achieved. This represents an 11.0% increase from RM384.4 billion in 2024, marking continued growth in the country’s investment performance. This achievement comes amid a cautious global climate. The International Monetary Fund (IMF), in its World Economic Outlook, projected global growth at 3.3% in 2026¹.
According to UNCTAD’s Global Investment Trends Monitor (January 2026), although global FDI flows rose 14% in 2025², much of the growth was concentrated in financial centres rather than in productive assets, with actual investment activity remaining subdued. In contrast, Malaysia’s performance is anchored in tangible project commitments: 8,390 approved projects across services, manufacturing, and primary sectors, expected to generate 244,902 new jobs.
