The Edge Malaysia
Writing in The Edge Malaysia, BCG’s Ching Fong Ong and Nurlin Mohd Salleh discuss the strong foreign direct investment (FDI) flows observed in Malaysia in 2021. Following a pandemic-induced recession, the country saw record levels of FDI, which boosted the economy in key sectors such as manufacturing, electrical and electronics services, and mining. To build on this progress, Salleh and Ong explain how Malaysia can leverage digital economy agreements to attract innovative companies, top talent, and continual investment in the region.
