In the first nine months of 2025, Azerbaijan’s direct foreign investment into Malaysia reached $3.665 million. At first glance, this figure may seem modest. Yet compared to the same period in 2024—when investments barely touched $26,000—the surge represents an astonishing 141-fold increase. Such a dramatic leap is not a statistical anomaly; it is a signal that Azerbaijan’s investment geography is widening, and that Asia is emerging as a new frontier of interest.
