‘Carbon tax will be gradual, not a barrier to investment'
Bilateral synergy: Anwar addressing the audience during a roundtable meeting in Paris with French captains of industry. — Bernama PARIS: The proposed carbon tax, to be finalised in several months, should not be considered a problem for investing companies, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said the proposed tax would be carried out cautiously and gradually. 'We are finalising that in the next few months. 'I know about the trend of decarbonisation (which is) strong and compelling, but we have to be realistic. 'The proposed tax should not be seen as a problem at the expense of investing companies,' he said during a question and answer session at a roundtable meeting with French captains of industry. More than 42 representatives from French companies and 18 representatives from Malaysian companies attended the event. The French representatives had positive remarks about working in Malaysia, with several of them noting that they invested because they believed in the country. Anwar also said that Malaysia, which focuses on neutrality, is friendly to all including having excellent relations with China, adding that having economic fundamentals remains the core focus. 'We engage and respond to all. At the end of the day, peace and stability are important in carrying out business. We are in one of the most peaceful regions in the world and one with the fastest growing economies,' he said. Anwar also took time to speak with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to congratulate him on the Liberal Party's recent electoral victory. 'I look forward to working closely with Prime Minister Carney and his new administration to strengthen the longstanding Malaysia-Canada partnership for the mutual benefit of our peoples,' he said. Malaysia, he added, remains steadfast in its commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with Canada across various sectors, including trade, investment and defence cooperation. 'I'm pleased with PETRONAS' continued involvement in the LNG Canada project, as it clearly symbolises strong cooperation in the energy sector,' he said. He called on Canada to reconsider visa exemptions for Malaysians, noting that both countries are Commonwealth members.

Anwar: Proposed carbon tax not hindrance for investors
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim - Photo: Bernama PARIS: As the proposed carbon tax is being finalised, the government today gave an assurance that its implementation will not create a problem for investors. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he knew that the trend towards decarbonisation is strong and compelling. "But I think we have to be very realistic. The proposed carbon tax should not be seen as too problematic at the expense of investing companies,' he said during a question and answer session at the Roundtable Meeting with Captains of Industry in Paris, the capital of France on Friday. Also present were Investment, Trade, and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan, Transport Minister Anthony Loke, Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. Anwar, who is here on a two-day official visit, said the implementation has to be done cautiously and gradually. "We are finalising that in the next few months actually,' he said, adding that they are looking at sectors that are the biggest carbon emitters first. Despite the palm oil industry being an important sector for Malaysia, Anwar said any new plantations on peat soil have been stopped due to its high carbon emissions. The government is planning to introduce the carbon tax in 2026, specifically targeting the iron, steel and energy industries. It is part of the government's broader strategy to promote the use of low-carbon technologies and meet emission reduction goals. Industry leaders who attended the session with the Prime Minister praised the government and the country for providing a good investment climate in Malaysia. On tourism, Anwar said the number of tourists from France visiting Malaysia has increased tremendously. "We have direct flights from Paris now. You can swim the whole year due to our favourable climate,' he quipped, citing the newly introduced Kuala Lumpur-Paris route by Malaysia Airlines. Anwar also assured French companies considering investments in Malaysia or the ASEAN region that both represent some of the fastest-growing and most dynamic economies in the world. - Bernama
