"Great things are not by impulse, but a series of small things brought together."
The quote by Vincent Van Gogh perfectly sums up the steps that Malaysia, as a nation, has been taking to guide all of us out of the pandemic. The pockets of high-value investments and reiteration of commitments that have come into fruition in the last couple of years stand as a strong testament of our propositions to investors.
On the back of a prediction of moderate economic growth this year, Malaysia is optimistic that we could steer away from the reverberations of a global recession. Although many economists and analysts have predicted that we will experience a rough trajectory from the external headwind and slower economic growth, the government, echoed by its branches of agencies such as MDEC, will never lose sight of keeping our economy above the water.
In this edition of Digital Pulse, we focus on the advancements in the industry that have provided substantial benefits to the nation. One such example is the Malaysia Vision Valley (MVV) project, which aims to generate economic growth in Malaysia by attracting both local and foreign investors and creating numerous job and business prospects.
As Negeri Sembilan is in the midst of prospering its integrated zone project, the MVV is expected to complement the Greater Kuala Lumpur and the National Conurbation.
Malaysia is a rapidly developing country with a promising economic and technological growth outlook, and the government, through its various agencies, has also been proactive in enabling the private sector to collaborate and build Malaysia's digital ecosystem.
Another piece of exciting news for the tourism industry; MDEC has begun issuing digital nomad passes – the DE Rantau Digital Nomad Pass, which welcomes digital professionals from all over the world. This new work-leisure arrangement is expected to bring RM4.8 billion worth by 2025, aiding various industries through its cascading effects.
I hope this issue will pique your interest in investing into and within Malaysia. Speak to us today. Happy reading.
