Johor on the Path to a High-Income Economy — JS-SEZ Shaping Southeast Asia’s New Investment Corridor

In 2025, Johor rises to new economic heights. As the fastest-growing state in Malaysia, Johor recorded a 6.4% GDP growth in 2024, and through the JS-SEZ, is shaping itself into one of Southeast Asia’s most promising investment corridors.

Over the next decade, 100 strategic projects are expected to take shape, with half of them to be realized within the first five years. Alongside this, 20,000 new jobs and continuous infrastructure upgrades will further enhance both the business and living environment.

Key highlights include:
✔ IMFC-J One-Stop Investment & Financing Center
✔ CIQ Automated Clearance System
✔ RTS Cross-Border Rapid Transit Link

Johor is attracting world-class enterprises, with Microsoft and ByteDance setting their footprint here—signaling its strategic role in the digital economy and AI industries.

From industrial upgrading to talent development, every step Johor takes is directed toward a single goal—by 2030, to advance into a high-income economy and emerge as the new growth engine of Malaysia.
