Malaysia Chemicals 2014

May 02, 2014

Malaysia lies in what is unarguably the most competitive chemicals market in the world, the Asia Pacific region, and the country is sparking renewed attention as an investment destination, especially in light of the successes of neighboring Singapore and its integrated petrochemicals complex in Jurong Island. Malaysia must fight to maintain its advantage over other countries in the region, such as Indonesia and Thailand, which also offer lower costs when it comes to labor and land ownership and availability but do not have Malaysia’s logistic and financial infrastructure.
