Amir Hamzah Azizan, Malaysia’s Minister of Finance II, provided Asia House with the latest updates on Malaysia’s economic outlook and investment environment at an off-the-record briefing on Monday 22 April.
The newly appointed Minister discussed Malysia’s reform agenda, the Madani Economy framework and the current coalition government, which is headed by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Malaysia’s ambitious plans to grow its key sectors, such as electrical and electronics, digital and technology, oil and gas, and aerospace, were also discussed at the briefing. Minister Amir Hamzah was joined by the Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia, Datuk Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour, who discussed measures the central bank is taking to support the Malaysian Ringgit as well as the country’s battle with inflation.
Asia House Corporate Members asked the Minister his views on a wide range of topics, including infrastructure financing, fiscal space to support health resilience, and Malaysia’s aspirations to become an Islamic finance hub.
Chaired by Asia House Chief Executive Michael Lawrence OBE and held at the think tank’s London headquarters, the briefing offered Asia House Corporate Members valuable insights into Malaysia’s economic resilience in the face of challenging global growth and rising geopolitical tensions.
