Malaysia has locked in RM4 billion worth of confirmed investments and secured RM675 million in export value after Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s trade mission to France on 4 July.
According to the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), multiple French companies have committed to investing in high-tech manufacturing, aerospace, renewable energy, digital economy, tourism and sustainable infrastructure—sectors aligned with Malaysia’s industrial transformation agenda under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030.
On top of that, Malaysia will see exports worth RM675 million across high-impact sectors like automotive, pharmaceuticals, halal, lifestyle and green tech. These export wins feed directly into the country’s push for global competitiveness and diversified trade.
The meetings in Paris involved 40 representatives from France’s industrial sector. MITI confirmed that several companies reaffirmed plans to deepen their presence in Malaysia, driven by confidence in our investment ecosystem, strong supply chains, skilled talent and supportive government policies.
MITI Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz said the mission’s success highlights growing international trust in Malaysia’s economic direction. Local SMEs and job seekers stand to benefit from the ripple effect of these foreign investments, especially in advanced industries.
