KUALA LUMPUR, July 16, 2024 – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim emphasized the need for a more effective, organised, and systematic energy transition and green investment to elevate Malaysia’s status as a preferred green investment destination.
During the National Investment Council Meeting (MPN) No. 5/2024, which Anwar chaired yesterday, an action plan to improve the country’s competitive position was assessed and agreed upon.
“This effort is expected to enhance Malaysia’s ranking in the World Competitiveness Index report published by the Institute for Management Development,” Anwar stated in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Anwar, who also serves as the finance minister, expressed optimism that Malaysia could improve its competitive position and achieve sustainable economic growth.
He highlighted that several research findings related to the strategic plan were discussed during the meeting, aiming to increase green investments and position Malaysia as a green investment hub in the region.
This initiative is crucial for achieving the net zero carbon emission target by 2050, as outlined in the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030).
