Over the last 60 years, Malaysia has developed from an agricultural and commodity exporter to being an attractive gateway to Southeast Asia. 

Malaysia is one of ASEAN region's largest economy, with a GDP of USD314.5 billion (2017). Being an emerging market with a high potential for economic growth and a wide range of user segments to tap into, Malaysia remains as one of the key markets for business expansion. 

 

Businesses looking to venture into the Malaysian market can look forward to a wide variety of incentives covering many industry sectors in Malaysia.
