Selangor continued to receive the highest number of manufacturing projects and created the highest employment opportunities in Malaysia despite 2021 being a challenging year, according to Invest Selangor.

In a statement on Wednesday (April 13), Invest Selangor said 247 investment projects and 14,393 employment opportunities were secured last year.

Since 2017, Selangor has been in the forefront annually, and received a total of 1,329 investment projects with a total capital investment of RM67.5 billion, it added.

"In addition to the unpredictability nature of the pandemic and delayed economic growth, the lack of the state's promotional missions and engagement sessions overseas due to the closing of international borders, compounded to a comparatively lower foreign direct investment in 2021.
