Kedah recorded outstanding achievements in Malaysia’s investment landscape following the announcement of the Malaysia Investment Performance Report 2025 during the MIDA Annual Media Conference 2026 held at MIDA Sentral, Kuala Lumpur.
The report presentation by YB Tuan Sim Tze Tzin, Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, highlighted Kedah as the leading state in approved manufacturing investments for 2025, recording RM24.6 billion, surpassing several major industrial states.
Overall approved investments reached RM27.8 billion, positioning Kedah among the top five investment destinations nationwide.
This achievement reinforces Kedah’s growing prominence supported by strategic industrial developments such as Kulim Hi-Tech Park, Kedah Rubber City, and the Bukit Kayu Hitam Special Border Economic Zone (SBEZ).
