Malaysia Ranked No. 1 Best Country To Invest In 2017

Well, it looks like Malaysia is doing pretty well on the world stage!

A global marketing and communications firm known as BAV Consulting and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania recently surveyed more than 21, 000 participants from four regions.

The survey involved ranking 80 different countries based on eight attributes; corruption, dynamic, economic stability, entrepreneurial, favourable tax environment, innovative skilled labour force, and technological expertise.

Results indicated that Malaysia emerged as the top most desirable country to invest in, with it scoring 30 points more than any of the other countries on the 100-point scale. Yes guys, you did not read wrongly. TOP!

The countries Malaysia topped include Singapore (2nd place), India (6th place), Thailand (7th place), and Indonesia (10th place), according to U.S. News.

No wonder China so keen on investing in us lah! 😉
