JOHOR BAHRU — Johor has recorded strong investment growth, driven by political stability and close cooperation between the Federal and state governments, according to Investment, Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Sim Tze Tzin.
He said Johor achieved approximately RM110 billion in investments in 2025, making it the top-performing state in Malaysia. The state also secured 1,348 new projects, representing a significant increase compared to the previous year.
Sim noted that political stability remains a key factor in attracting investors, as it builds confidence among both local and international businesses.
He added that federal agencies, including the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), continue to support Johor through investment facilitation and export development programmes.
The state’s performance reflects its growing role as a major economic and manufacturing hub, supported by ongoing national initiatives such as industrial development plans and regional economic cooperation projects.
