Budget 2025: A Strategic Investment Proposition To Propel Malaysia Forward
Key takeaways: • The Madani Government's proposed Budget 2025 demonstrates its commitment to achieving three strategic imperatives: stimulating economic growth, aggressively attracting foreign and domestic investments, and adhering to the fundamentals of fiscal discipline. • The introduction of the Investment Incentive Framework (IIF2025) in Budget 2025 marks a transformative step to revolutionise Malaysia's investment landscape, aligned to InvestKL’s focus on attracting modern services investments in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, IoT, data science, and FinTech. With a robust RM1 billion strategic investment fund and innovative measures to strengthen local supply chains, including tax breaks for multinational companies (MNCs) and support for local industries, Malaysia is set to become a top investment destination. • The above framework will not only generate high-skilled executive jobs but will advance Malaysia's economic transformation agenda. Subsequently, the focus on high-skilled job creation and the upskilling and reskilling the local talents is set to attract global multinational companies to invest in Malaysia, thus fortifying the nation's economic prowess. • Meanwhile, Budget 2025’s emphasis on digitalisation and integrating AI across all sectors will be a double-edged sword—fuelling growth and enhancing the country's ambition of becoming a fully digital-enabled nation.
