FDI continues its steady stream

Mida is also doing its part to attract investors to come to Malaysia.

IN 2021, Malaysia registered a foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow of RM48.1bil. The biggest beneficiary was the manufacturing sector with an inflow of RM29.5bil, followed by the services sector at RM12bil and the mining and quarrying at RM5.8bil.

This was the highest inflow relative to the pre-pandemic trend. Between 2010 and 2019, the average flow was only around RM35.9bil.
