1MDB has a unique difference in its pursuit of economic growth. It creates business opportunities and forges global partnerships to bring home foreign direct investment for new high-impact growth.

1MDB forms equal-capital joint ventures in investments with high multipliers, especially energy, real estate, tourism and agribusiness. This business model is proven successful with an early indication of USD3 billion investments from the Middle East.

1MDB will continue to be swift in responding to rapid-changing global market, seizing opportunities before others do.

1MDB will have an initial funding of RM11 billion (USD3.13 billion). The first tranche of RM5 billion (USD1.7 billion) was raised in the capital market with the issuance of Islamic Medium Term Notes guaranteed by the Federal Government. 1MDB’s shareholders will determine the future funding for the balance.
