Investment Property In Malaysia 2009

Malaysia real estate investment offers Britons good value for money because of a favourable exchange rate between the ringgit and the pound.

This is the claim of a new article on the Choices website, which states that an increasing number of opportunities are opening up in the country in light of the price and its popularity as a holiday destination.

"At today's rate of 5.85 Malaysian ringitts to the British pound, Malaysia represents excellent value for both the holidaymaker and the property investor," the piece says.

In addition, it notes that properties of equivalent value are generally of better quality in Malaysia than in Europe, while the government has introduced tax breaks to incite investors.

Further announcements regarding the liberalisation of regulations surrounding foreign property ownership in the country are expected to be made by prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the Invest Malaysia 2009 conference this week, according to the Star Online.

Investment property in Malaysia offers foreign investors low prices and high growth potential. Recent improvements and reforms have led to a strengthening property investment market in Malaysia.

Malaysia is experiencing major development and economic growth, giving rise to an upturn in its tourist, residential and commercial property markets.

A solid infrastructure that is being further strengthened by the government’s “Ninth Plan” renders Malaysia a modern and efficient country. Increased air services as well as tax breaks and other incentives are enticing overseas investors to the country. With prices still at an amazing low, discerning property investors regard this strong Asian economy as a lucrative one for high returns on investment.
