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.

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.  

Elsewhere, the country has one of the highest standards of living 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.

Local relationships are critical for a successful investment in Malaysia. Regulation, while perhaps less complex than other ASEAN nations, still requires expertise and tact. This is where Asian Insiders can assist, having successfully partnered with numerous other businesses.
