What is the current FDI to DDI ratio for Malaysian investments?

Question

Accepted Answer

Malaysia’s current FDI to DDI ratio is 52.5% FDI to 47.5% DDI
For the first quarter of 2023, Malaysia recorded a near 50:50 split between foreign direct investment (FDI) and domestic direct investment (DDI). The ratio was 52.5% for FDI and 47.5% for DDI, based on investment commitments.
The ratio was reported for Q1 2023 investment commitments
The figure was stated for the first quarter of 2023, when Malaysia attracted investment commitments totalling RM74.1 billion. In that same period, the FDI and DDI shares were presented as almost equal.
FDI accounted for slightly more than DDI
FDI was quantified at 52.5% while DDI was 47.5%, reflecting a marginal lead for foreign investment within the overall commitment mix. The split was described as almost 50:50 rather than a wide imbalance.
The shares were tied to the government’s investment facilitation updates
The ratio was provided in a parliamentary response by the Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz, through the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (Miti) and Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida). He was responding to questions comparing DDI targets for 2023 against FDI.
The government also cited pipeline figures as of late May 2023
As of May 31, 2023, there were 743 projects in negotiation or evaluation with total proposed investment of RM50.6 billion. Within that pipeline, DDI was RM8.0 billion or 15.7%, while FDI was RM42.7 billion or 84.3%, showing a different split from the Q1 commitments ratio.
