KUALA LUMPUR — Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) in collaboration with CIMB Group Holdings Berhad (“CIMB”) and Malayan Banking Berhad (“Maybank”), will jointly host Invest Malaysia 2026 on 9 June 2026 at Mandarin Oriental, Kuala Lumpur.
Established as one of Malaysia’s leading investor outreach engagements, Invest Malaysia brings together policymakers, corporates, investors and market participants to discuss the nation’s economic priorities, investment opportunities and capital market development. Over the years, it has served as an important platform for connecting the investment community with Malaysia’s growth story and long- term economic aspirations.
Anchored on the theme “From Reform to Execution: Malaysia’s Next Leap”, Invest Malaysia 2026 will examine the opportunities behind a more fragmented global environment for Malaysia’s investment outlook, from navigating geopolitical and supply chain risks, to sustaining fiscal discipline, strengthening governance and stewardship, and strengthening the pathway from investment interest to capital formation.
Invest Malaysia 2026 will showcase 61 corporates from Malaysia, representing a combined market capitalisation of RM1.051 trillion. The conference is expected to draw more than 1,500 delegates, including foreign fixed income, equity and private equity investors with combined assets under management of over RM44.08 trillion.
Datuk Fad’l Mohamed, Chief Executive Officer of Bursa Malaysia, said, “As global capital gravitates towards markets that offer clearer opportunities and greater visibility on value, Malaysia presents a compelling gateway to ASEAN growth, as it builds deeper capabilities within technology-led and new-economy sectors. As the world’s sixth-largest semiconductor exporter, Malaysia also occupies an important position within global supply chains, underpinned by strengths in advanced manufacturing.
“In this context, Bursa Malaysia’s role is to enable companies to raise capital and translate that growth into investment opportunities. Through Invest Malaysia, we aim to connect global investors directly to these opportunities while deepening participation, strengthening liquidity and enhancing how companies are understood and valued — to build a stronger, more vibrant market.”
Novan Amirudin, Group Chief Executive Officer of CIMB Group, said, “Malaysia is well-positioned as a premier investment destination, supported by clear policy direction, resilient economic fundamentals and its strategic location at the heart of ASEAN. Malaysia’s best-ever RM426.7 billion in approved investments in 2025 underscores continued investor confidence, while the country’s growing participation in high-value sectors — including digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, energy transition and the data economy — further strengthens its appeal to global investors.
As global investors diversify their portfolios and supply chains towards ASEAN’s growth markets, Malaysia offers a compelling proposition — combining stability, connectivity, talent and innovation with opportunities across future-focused sectors. We remain confident in the country’s ability to attract quality investments that will drive productivity, create value and reinforce its competitiveness on the global stage.
As a leading ASEAN bank with a presence across key markets, CIMB remains committed to supporting the Government’s efforts to strengthen global economic ties, elevate Malaysia’s competitive advantages and foster long-term, sustainable economic growth.”
Datuk Seri Khairussaleh Ramli, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Maybank commented, “Maybank is proud to play its role as a Strategic Partner of Invest Malaysia, a platform we have supported for over 15 years. At a time when investors seek confidence amid global uncertainties, Malaysia stands from a position of resilience, underpinned by a diversified economy, technology upcycle, and sustained domestic demand. Invest Malaysia provides a timely opportunity to showcase the strengths of the Malaysian economy and capital market, while reinforcing the country’s position as a compelling investment destination in ASEAN.”
In conjunction with the conference, delegates will also have the opportunity to participate in a Visit Malaysia 2026 tourism track, showcasing the country’s cultural, heritage and urban transformation assets, and highlighting tourism as a key driver of economic growth and investment opportunities. This will be complemented by a series of curated thematic site visits in Selangor, offering first-hand insights into Malaysia’s investment-ready growth corridors and key industries.
