Malaysia Yields RM4.675 Bln In Potential Exports, Investments From French Trade Mission
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has successfully yielded RM4 billion in potential investments and RM675 million in potential exports in the trade and investment mission led by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to France on July 4, 2025. In a statement today, the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (MITI) said Anwar met 40 representatives from France's industrial sector, with several companies expressing intention to invest in high-tech manufacturing, aerospace, renewable energy, tourism and hospitality, digital economy and sustainable infrastructure. 'As for potential exports, RM675 million was generated for high-impact sectors such as aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, digital economy, lifestyle and halal industries. 'These are sectors targeted under the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) and the Green Investment Strategy,' it said. MITI said companies also shared their intention to continue investing in Malaysia, driven by key factors such as a conducive, stable and dynamic investment ecosystem; encouraging global demand for Malaysian-made products; efficient domestic supply chains; a highly skilled workforce; and investor-friendly government policies. The mission delegation also included MITI Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz and representatives from Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE). Tengku Zafrul said the mission's overall success reflected foreign companies' continued confidence in Malaysia's investor-friendly policies, supply chain ecosystem, competitiveness and economic growth potential. 'The investment and trade potential to be realised will also provide business opportunities for local companies, including small and medium enterprises, and more high-paying jobs for Malaysians. 'All these are key in driving our MADANI economic transformation agenda,' he said.

Sarawak Key To ASEAN's Green Energy Push
BUSINESS Arthur D. Little Southeast Asia partner and head of energy, utilities, and resources practice, Trung Ghi By Siti Radziah Hamzah KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- The Sarawak-linked segment of the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) is shaping up to be a crucial enabler of regional decarbonisation efforts, supplying low-carbon hydropower to displace fossil fuel generation across Southeast Asia, said an expert. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reportedly said that Sarawak has the potential to become the main energy hub for Malaysia and ASEAN. The state could also play a key role in the APG initiative with its rich energy resources, including hydropower, gas and hydrogen. Trung Ghi, Arthur D. Little Southeast Asia partner and head of energy, utilities, and resources practice, said the tripartite cooperation of this scale strengthened regulatory alignment and accelerated institutional readiness. The move comes as Sarawak eyes a nearly threefold increase in renewable energy capacity to 15 gigawatts (GW) by 2035, positioning the state as a regional energy anchor. According to Sarawak Energy's 2035 Strategic Plan, this expansion includes continued hydropower development, solar scale-up, and hydrogen deployment. 'The 15GW target is ambitious but feasible with the right enablers. Continued hydropower development, solar scale-up and hydrogen deployment will be critical. If realised, it would significantly boost Sarawak's export capacity while enhancing domestic energy security,' Trung told Bernama in a written interview recently. Malaysia is currently exploring two cross-border transmission routes - one overland via Peninsular Malaysia and another via a direct undersea cable to Singapore. Trung said the route that secures financing, permits and offtake agreements first is likely to move ahead. 'Cost-efficiency and geopolitical alignment are key considerations. A route through Peninsular Malaysia may be quicker and cheaper, while direct access to Singapore's premium market could offer higher commercial returns,' he added.
