Approved Investments Across Multiple Sectors Reach RM474.2 Bln As Of March 2025 – MITI

KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- A total of RM474.2 billion in approved investments across various economic sectors was recorded between 2024 (full year) and March 2025, according to the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI).

The ministry said these investments span the manufacturing, services, and primary sectors, involving 9,238 projects and creating 241,086 job opportunities.

“Domestic investment accounted for the majority of approved investments during this period, totalling RM242.5 billion or 51.1 per cent, while foreign investment made up RM231.7 billion (48.9 per cent),” it said in a written reply published on Parliament’s website today.

MITI was responding to a question from Chiew Choon Man (PH–Miri) regarding the amount of foreign investment received in 2024 and 2025, as well as projections for the next three years.

As of June 10, 2025, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) is actively assessing proposed investment projects totalling RM48.5 billion. This includes 683 proposed projects in the services sector, valued at RM27.6 billion.

Additionally, the manufacturing sector comprises 89 projects with a combined value of RM20.9 billion.

MIDA is also negotiating high-potential investment projects valued at RM59.3 billion.

“Both figures reflect positive investment momentum in Malaysia. MITI remains highly optimistic that this strong performance and momentum can be sustained in the coming periods,” it added.
