MALAYSIA BREAKS INVESTMENT RECORD WITH RM426.7 BILLION IN 2025, UP 11% YEAR-ON-YEAR; CREATING OVER 240,000 NEW JOBS

Kuala Lumpur, 6 March 2026 – 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 2026.

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.
