Foreign direct investment has been sustained, particularly into the new areas of growth. The private sector continues as the main driver of economic growth for the fifth consecutive year, while the public sector plays a supportive role. While Malaysia continues to attract investment, both domestic and foreign from the traditional sectors, new sectors such as the services, manufacturing and oil and gas sectors are gaining in importance. The services sector such as information technology services, shared services and outsourcing as well as financial services, in particular Islamic finance, has increased its market share. BIS Review 129/2007  1  The Malaysian Islamic banking system saw strong performance in 2006 with higher profitability, and has remained well capitalized. Islamic banking assets amounting to about USD34 billion or 13 percent in terms of market share. The takaful sector stands at USD1.7 billion, with the assets growing at an average rate of 27% per annum since the past five years. The performance of the Malaysian Islamic capital market has been equally encouraging. Our capital market has depth and breadth that is supported by an active secondary bond market. Islamic corporate bonds, or sukuk, now amount to USD36 billion or 48 percent of the total outstanding corporate bond issuance in Malaysia. The multinationals and multi-lateral institutions such as the International Finance Corporation and the World Bank has begun to tap funds from the Malaysian capital market by issuing ringgit sukuks, thus increasing the market's depth and diversity.
