PETALING JAYA: The New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP 2030) to be launched soon by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will, among others, outline ideas for driving the future of the country’s industrial sector.

Deputy Investment, Trade and industry Minister Liew Chin Tong told a media conference after launching Infinity8 Reserve Mid Valley Southkey co-working space in Johor Baru yesterday that this will have an impact on the domestic direct investment (DDI) and foreign direct investment (FDI) in that sector.

NIMP 2030 is a comprehensive framework covering the mission, priority and action plan to transform the country’s industrial sector.

Asked on the National Investment Council’s decision to make DDI one of the key performance indicators for the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry and its agencies, Liew said this was among the Prime Minister’s focus for creating a balance and reducing the nation’s dependence on FDI.

“Actually the Prime Minister (wants) the country not only to depend on FDI, but also to balance it with DDI to expand total investment here,” he said. — Bernama
