Malaysia’s recent Trade and Investment Mission to France has secured RM4bn in potential investments and RM675mn in possible export opportunities — a move to drive business opportunities for local companies, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and more high-paying jobs for Malaysians.
The mission, which took place on 4 July 2025 (Friday), was led by Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Anwar Ibrahim, with support from Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Tengku Zafrul Aziz, along with representatives from the Malaysian Investment Development Authority and the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation.
Several French companies expressed interest in investing a cumulative RM4bn in sectors aligned with Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) and Green Investment Strategy, including:
- High-tech manufacturing,
- Aerospace,
- Renewable energy,
- Tourism & hospitality,
- Digital economy, and
- Sustainable infrastructure.
Meanwhile, potential exports valued at RM675mn were generated in high-impact sectors such as:
- Aerospace,
- Automotive,
- Renewable energy,
- Pharmaceuticals,
- Digital economy,
- Lifestyle, and
- Halal.
Companies met during the mission shared their intention to continue investing in Malaysia, citing key drivers such as:
- A conducive, stable, and dynamic investment ecosystem,
- Strong global demand for Malaysian-made products,
- Efficient domestic supply chains,
- A highly skilled workforce, and
- Investor-friendly government policies.
Tengku Zafrul stated: "The overall success of this mission reflects many foreign companies’ continued confidence in Malaysia's investor-friendly policies, supply chain ecosystem, competitiveness and economic growth potential.
"The investment and trade potential to be realised will also provide business opportunities for local companies, including small and medium enterprises, and more high-paying jobs for Malaysians. All these are key in driving our MADANI economic transformation agenda.”
