Investment from BRICS countries in the Malaysian economy amounted to 8.54 billion ringgit (about US$2.02 billion) in the first quarter of 2025. These figures were provided by the country’s Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry, according to
BERNAMA, a partner of TV BRICS.
The key investor countries were China, India, the UAE, and South Africa. Most of the investments, 96 per cent, went to the manufacturing sector, including green technologies, the digital economy and infrastructure. Investments in the service sector amounted to 270 million ringgit (about 63.8 million).
“Malaysia’s participation in BRICS also provides added value in the form of recognition for our role as a progressive and principled country. It opens doors to new markets, strengthens interactions with major economic powers in the Global South,” the ministry said.
The projects are expected to create more than 6,000 new jobs.
Malaysia was granted BRICS partner status in early 2025, which helped to strengthen its investment attractiveness. The country already had stable trade relations with the group’s key economies, China and India.
