Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 77702, member: 636"] Malaysia pulled in almost half a trillion ringgit worth of potential deals from government trade missions and PM-led trips abroad over the past couple of years. Deputy Minister Liew Chin Tong broke down how 181 projects worth RM493.64 billion got lined up between 2023 and 2025, with 52 already greenlit for RM123.8 billion and another 38 getting finalized this year for RM48.9 billion. The bulk of that money, around RM320.9 billion, won't actually materialize until somewhere between 2026 and 2028. Meanwhile, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority is getting a whole revamp to make sure foreign cash actually benefits local industries instead of just existing on paper. The ministry is working on new legislation to tighten oversight and force investors to follow through on their commitments, which should theoretically create more economic spillover for domestic businesses.
