Malaysia Gets Infusion from the Middle East
What happens when you combine the seemingly unending financial investment potential of the Middle East with the innovative attitude of Malaysia? You end up with the one of the most explosive growth opportunities in the world.
The two cultures share much in common, both from a religious standpoint as well as common investment focus. Malaysia has untapped potential that visionaries in the Middle East recognized and this has produced the second and third top initial public launches in the world this year (the top one still remains Facebook).
While the Malaysian economy is still dominated by an export-driven focus, it is becoming one of the fastest growing economies. Bolstered by Middle East investors and supported by the government, tourism is also adding to the increase GOP (which jumped 5.4% in three months time)
