According to statistics compiled by Bank Negara, Malaysia received RM139.9bil in total gross FDI inflow in 2020 and this was a marginal increase of 0.8% y-o-y against the 2019 inflow of RM138.8bil.

WHAT is Malaysia’s actual foreign direct investments or FDIs? Well, that depends on who you ask and what information are you looking for.

If it is in relation to approved FDIs, the answer comes from Malaysia Investment Development Authority (Mida). If one is referring to gross FDI, the answer is given by Department of Statistics and if you want to know what is the net FDI, the answer lies in Bank Negara’s statistics.
