The FDI Boom: Why Investors Choose Malaysia

With RM85.4 billion in foreign investments secured in the first half of 2024 alone, what’s propelling Malaysia’s FDI momentum? In this episode of Enterprise Explores, we dive into Malaysia’s foreign direct investment (FDI) trends and the strategies driving these impressive numbers with Keegan Ong, Tax Partner and Korean Desk Leader at PwC Malaysia.

We explore the key factors at play, including the impact of tax incentives, non-tax incentives, free trade agreements, and the Global Minimum Tax on Malaysia’s investment landscape.

Tune in to uncover how Malaysia is maintaining its competitive edge in the region and what more can be done to attract foreign capital.
