KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s approved investments surged to a historic RM426.7 bil in 2025, rising 11% from the previous year, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said a total of 8,390 projects were approved, with the potential to create 244,902 job opportunities for Malaysians.
“Domestic investment remained robust at RM219.6bil, representing 51.5% of the total investment.
“While foreign investment jumped 20.9% to RM207.1bil, reflecting strong confidence from both local and international investors in Malaysia’s economic stability and policy direction,” he said in his Facebook post on Friday (March 6).
Anwar attributed the achievement to the coordinated efforts of the Madani administration.
He said efforts by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, and Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry aimed to ensure approved investments are implemented, creating jobs, transferring technology, and driving national prosperity, also played a huge role.
“This is more than just numbers. It demonstrates the world’s confidence in Malaysia and the reform agenda we are carrying out.
“We will continue to work hard to ensure all Malaysians benefit from this growth,” added Anwar.
