KUALA LUMPUR: The soon-to-be-developed Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) along the southern end of Jalan Tun Razak is expected to create a positive spillover impact to its surrounding areas of Bukit Bintang, Pudu and Kampung Pandan, say analysts familiar with the urban renewal project.

Formerly known as the Kuala Lumpur International Financial District, TRX will be a critical enabler and vital catalyst for the Government's Vision 2020 and Economic Transformation Progamme initiatives, and is poised to attract more than RM3.5 billion in foreign direct investment.
