I was delighted to represent Foray Advisory at the breakfast roundtable with YB Chin Tong Liew, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), and H.E. Ambassador Massimo Rustico, the Ambassador of Italy to Malaysia. This event was organized by Italcham Malaysia - Italian Chamber of Commerce in Malaysia, the Embassy of Italy in Kuala Lumpur, and the ITA - Italian Trade Agency in Kuala Lumpur. A couple of takeaways from the Minister's presentation include: 1) The Madani Economy framework aims to boost economic and social development, ensuring sustainable growth and social stability. 2) Development will be propelled by high-quality investments in six growth engines: reindustrialization driven by NIMP 2030, the green transition, digital transformation, world-class infrastructure and public services, a focus on high-value services, and synergistic vertical integration of the States. 3) The establishment of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Malaysia and the EU has strong governmental support and will facilitate the participation of Italian and EU businesses in the execution of the Madani Economy framework. Technology was central to the plan and was one - "Tech Up" - of the six engines of growth, encompassing talent development, smart manufacturing, and locally grown solutions. To stronger ties between Italy and Malaysia! #italy #malaysia #trade #industry #investments #digital #technology Sue Anne Choo, Erika Angelozzi
