Malaysia’s former Investment Development Authority Chief recently talked about diversifying the investment fields for Chinese foreign investors in Malaysia. In a speech during a conference held by Deloitte International, the former chief talked about how Malaysia could move beyond the traditional investment field and into the more attractive and growing business sectors. 

Chinese investors are mainly targeting areas like infrastructure and property investments in Malaysia. However, growing industries like biotechnology and high growth technology clusters should become the main focus not only for Chinese investors but for foreign investors in general. The former chief of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority referred to these emerging business sectors as “high-quality investments”.

China is currently Malaysia’s largest trade partner while Malaysia is China’s sixth largest trade partner. Experts believe that the country will manage to attract these types of high-quality investments much faster if it retains its position as one of the competitive countries in the ASEAN region.
