Malaysia
Overview
Malaysia is a strategic gateway into Asia. Over the course of history, various colonial powers recognised its value as a port-of-call and the richness of its natural bounty. Today, these advantages continue to underpin the country’s impressive economic progress in global trade and commerce.
In the 60 years since independence, Malaysia has implemented robust, economic fundamentals and boasts a multicultural and multilingual population, well-educated human capital, connected infrastructure, progressive digital frameworks and a thriving business environment. Its young demographic and healthy household formation augur well for future growth and development.
