New strategies to attract investors to Iskandar Malaysia

JOHOR BARU: Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) is adopting new strategies to attract more investors into Iskandar Malaysia (IM), said chief executive officer Ismail Ibrahim.

Given the debt crisis in the eurozone, economic slowdown in the United States and Asian countries bracing themselves for slower growth, it was becoming more challenging to attract new investments, he said. “The situation requires Irda to work even harder and we are making extra efforts to continue attracting investors to IM,” Ismail told StarBiz recently.
