Malaysia: Trade, Foreign Direct Investment and Regional Integration

Evelyn Devadason ()

Chapter Chapter 5 in Southeast Asia and the ASEAN Economic Community, 2019, pp 187-220 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter examines how Malaysia has responded to global challenges through product and market diversification, investment promotion and trade strategies. The chapter begins with a historical overview of the Malaysian economy since Independence. It then profiles the FDI-trade nexus that generated supply chain linkages and reviews the industrial policy drive since the 1990s. Then follows an in-depth examination of Malaysia’s regional links through the trade and investment patterns with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and a review of its global position based on several performance-based rankings. The chapter concludes with suggestions for a reframing of the industrial policy with a focus on the firm and identifies some thorny issues that need to be addressed by the state.
