The UK’s entrance into the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) presents opportunities for British companies to invest in Malaysia, also a signatory to the CPTPP. Sectors that could benefit from the new market access include healthcare, education, and advanced manufacturing. UK investors can benefit from the Malaysian government’s focus on developing local talent and embracing Industry 4.0 in the manufacturing sector, particularly in the catalytic sub-sectors of electrical and electronics, machinery and equipment, and chemicals. Malaysia offers a range of opportunities in its healthcare sector to investors seeking to establish new facilities or modernize existing facilities for medical tourism. Finally, Malaysia is a leading education hub, offering investment opportunities in the establishment of vocational education and training centers, and foreign universities.
