Malaysia has 16 bilateral trade agreements, is a part of ASEAN and WTO, and is currently negotiating a Malaysia-European Free Trade Agreement.
Malaysia is located close to major Asia-Pacific markets and companies investing in Malaysia find it a cost-effective gateway to Asian markets. It has a well-developed financial sector, English-speaking majority, educated workforce, and follows high standards of business and legal practices. The government has a provided many incentives to encourage FDI like liberalizing expatriate employment regime and MSC program, which was launched in 2003 to extend tax exemption from 10-15 years for new technology companies and from 5-10 years for priority companies. It has not been able to generate more foreign investments due to bureaucracy, shortage of skilled workers, and the governments’ policies favoring indigenous Malaysians.A strong financial sector, developed infrastructure, significant resources, competitive costs, and liberal and transparent investment policies make Malaysia an ideal destination for foreign investment.
