Affin Hwang Wants Budget 2027 To Boost FDI, Foreign Capital Inflows

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 (Bernama) -- Affin Hwang Investment Bank Bhd hopes Budget 2027 will introduce measures that are conducive to foreign direct investment (FDI) and facilitate more foreign capital inflows into Malaysia.

Its chief executive officer Hanif Ghulam Mohammed said that, as a trading-oriented economy, Malaysia is highly dependent on trade flows, making it important for the government to create a more investor-friendly environment for foreign investors.

“From an investment bank perspective, we would like to see the budget being friendly towards FDI. We hope the government takes into account that the Malaysian economy is a trading economy.

“We depend a lot on the circulation of trade, and we hope the initiatives or the budget are geared towards accepting a lot more FDI flows and making it easier for foreign investors to come into Malaysia,” he told reporters after the launch of the Eurex Futures here today.

Budget 2027 will be tabled by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Oct 9, 2026.
