PETALING JAYA: After a sharp contraction in the second quarter of 2020 due to the Covid-19 containment measures, private investments in Malaysia have shown signs of gradual recovery.

However, while business sentiment has begun to pick up steam, domestic investment remains below pre-pandemic levels as many businesses across different industries take a wait-and-see approach to new investments and expansion.

This is highly important considering foreign direct investments are evolving to be geographically diverse with a shift in focus towards South-East Asia as multinational corporations seek to reduce reliance on China. “It is now key to monitor and measure the implementation of the budget closely against the desired objectives, ” according to Dass.

Manokaran also lauded the fact that the development expenditure provided under Budget 2021 was also the highest on record. Concurring with Manokaran, MIDF Research economist Mazlina Abdul Rahman said acceleration of government investment activities through infrastructure projects highlighted in Budget 2021 will create substantial job opportunities and have spillover effects to employment in other sectors.
