Earmarked as a reference point for other Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) within and outside Malaysia, the agency works closely with other IPAs and Regional Corridors (RCs) to facilitate potential investors’ requests. MIDA also traversed the globe, participating in trade and investment missions across Singapore, Thailand, New Zealand, India and Sri Lanka, China, Iran, and Germany. These initiatives, alongside the other outreach programmes undertaken by MIDA, will pave the way in entrenching direct engagement with the private sector and relevant stakeholders. Activities within the ASEAN in search of key hubs continue to rise. As more MNCs come forth to adopt Malaysia’s Principal Hub (PH) model and its attractive incentives, Malaysia is set to become a regional and global operations base for multinational companies. The growth of approved investments in global establishments increased by an astounding 72 per cent in 2016, creating 1,982 high-value jobs. This attests to the fact that MIDA is pushing all the right buttons, despite facing stiff competition offered by neighbouring countries within ASEAN. The quest for quality investment projects does not end at foreign sources; domestic investments continue to spearhead private investments and play the leading role in ensuring Malaysia’s long-term growth. To this end, MIDA remains committed to promoting domestic investments by championing the development of supply chains between local companies, including SMEs, with MNCs and large corporations via intensified 27 September 2016 - MIDA officials at a dialogue session with "German Business Leaders" in Berlin, Germany programmes, aimed at facilitating strategic linkages between both sides. efficient markets. “Located in the heart of ASEAN, Malaysia is a regional economic powerhouse Riding the growth momentum in pursuit of quality The days ahead will be packed with numerous investments via local and foreign sources will attain macroeconomic challenges which may impact global capable of offering MNCs and investors unique access to a steady stream success only if companies remain focused on increasing FDI activity such as volatile exchange rates, lower productivity across the entire value chain by upgrading commodity prices, and debt concerns in emerging of talent, a modern business ecosystem, world-class infrastructure and their workforce, harnessing new technologies, and markets.
