The Star exclusive - FDI seen reviving gradually




PETALING JAYA: Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows this year are projected to come in at RM16bil to RM17bil, markedly lower than in 2019, while next year it is expected to be lower than pre-Covid 19 levels, no thanks to the pandemic and political uncertainties.

Economists are of the view that there would be some pick up in FDI inflows next year but it would not be significant and only in 2022 would there be a clear passage of recovery for FDIs to grow.
