BNM: Lack of quality investments a hindrance to M'sia's future growth

The lack of quality investments, declining cross-border investments and increasing global competition to attract foreign direct investments are impacting Malaysia’s future growth potential.

“Compared to a strong average of growth of 14.4 percent between 2011 and 2013, realised foreign investment growth has declined to an average of 1.2 percent between 2014 and 2018, resulting in a smaller share of foreign affiliate investments to nominal private investment of 27 percent in 2018, compared with 41 percent in 2011,” it said.

The report pointed out that the lacklustre investment landscape was also due to global headwinds such as weak growth performance, trade and geopolitical tensions, a sharp decline in energy prices, volatile capital flow and policy uncertainties in major economies. Malaysia’s overall capital stock is slightly lower than the average of countries at a similar stage of development and has been slower than the benchmark economies, said BNM.

Malaysia losing brain drain. It faces a major problem in not only being incapable of delivering the required talent, but also in being unable to retain the current local talent or attract foreign ones. Why we're losing to Singapore, Australian, New Zealand.
