Making Malaysia the preferred green investment destination

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for a more effective organised and systematic energy transition and green investment to raise Malaysia’s standing as a preferred green investment destination.

In line with that the fifth National Investment Council Meeting assessed and agreed on an action plan to improve Malaysia’s competitiveness.

“Consequently, this effort is expected to enhance Malaysia’s ranking in the World Competitiveness Index report published by the Institute for Management Development.

“The Madani Government is very optimistic and and believes that Malaysia is capable of improving its competitive position and achieving sustainable economic growth for the well-being of its people,” he said in a post on X yesterday.

Several research findings related to the strategic plan were discussed at today’s meeting, aimed at increasing green investments in line with the focus of making Malaysia a green investment destination and hub in the region.

He added that this effort is crucial to achieving the net zero carbon emission target as early as 2050, as outlined in the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030).
