The nation’s continuous economic growth has had a positive impact on the level of foreign and domestic investment. In 2006, the total value of foreign and domestic investment has reached RM40 billion, an estimated increase of 60% as compared to 2001.

This drastic increase is indicative of the stability and growth of the economy, which has succeeded in attracting the confidence of foreign and local investors. This confidence is based on the Malaysian government’s successful economic recovery policies after the economic crisis in 1997.
