Abstract

The presentation investigates the allocation of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), and the drivers of FDI outflows. To stimulate the financial sector, the Malaysian government established an International Offshore Financial Centre (IOFC) on the island of Labuan. A key determinant for investment is rising costs of labour especially in relation to the cost of labour in the region. State involvement in outward foreign direct investment is significant.
