Malaysia

With diverse opportunities and government incentives, Malaysia remains an interesting market for foreign businesses looking to expand.

Previously a British colony, Malaysia gained its independence in 1957 and in the decades since has become a politically stable, democratic economy with a population of around 33 million people.

Malaysia boasts a diversified export base that features agriculture, forestry, and commodities, as well as minerals, energy, manufacturing, and machinery. The government also continues to look at ways it can end its reliance on imports in certain sectors. Utilising Malaysia market entry services can set your firm up for long-term success.

The country boasts many natural resources, including oil, gas, timber, and rubber, which have contributed to its economic growth. Opportunities involving these can be found both upstream and downstream, although each industry has different regulations that must be considered.

Why Malaysia?

The country is open to international trade and investment and has rolled out a range of government policies intended to encourage various activities. These include competitive tax incentives and support initiatives. Overall, Malaysia is seen as being a very investor-friendly market.

Elsewhere, the country has one of the highest living standards in Southeast Asia and a low unemployment rate. Malaysia is also working toward advanced economic status and greater inclusion by focusing on a range of development issues such as equity, inclusiveness, environmental sustainability, human capital development, and infrastructure.

Malaysia has maintained positive economic relationships with China and Western countries, meaning reaching other markets from here may be possible.
