KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 (Bernama) — In light of the recent Global Opportunity Index (GOI) 2024 report by the Milken Institute, which distinguished Malaysia as the leading nation among Asia’s emerging and developing countries in terms of overall investment conditions, the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) proudly acknowledges this landmark achievement. Malaysia’s commendable global rank of 27, surpassing regional competitors like Thailand and China, marks a significant milestone in the nation’s economic development journey.
Highlighted in the report, Malaysia emerges as a standout among the top ten (10) countries in emerging and developing Asia, boasting a strong institutional framework and balanced strengths across economic, financial, and regulatory domains. Surpassing its counterparts in all five (5) categories of the Global Opportunity Index, Malaysia offers a comparatively lower-risk investment landscape, setting it apart from other developing Asian markets.
