The labour market
General information on the Malaysian labour market, the French in Malaysia:
Malaysia remains one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic economies, with GDP growth of 5.1% in 2024 and 5.2% in 2025, driven primarily by services, manufacturing and digital industries. The Malaysian labour market is particularly resilient, with an unemployment rate of 3.0% in 2025, one of the lowest levels in the region, and a labour force participation rate reaching a record 70.8%.
France is one of Malaysia's major European economic partners. More than 300 French companies operate in Malaysia, including global leaders in aerospace, energy, healthcare, transport, luxury goods, engineering and digital technologies. Together, they employ more than 25,000 people, making the French business community one of the largest European employers in the country. These companies regularly recruit both local and international talent, offering opportunities for graduates and experienced professionals wishing to develop a career in Southeast Asia.
