Private-equity investors stand back from Malaysia; some see political, regulatory risks as too daunting; others shun side effects of capital controls
Article Abstract:
Private-equity investors are generally skeptical about the calls made by the Malaysian government for long-term investors to put money in the country. They have no inclination to heed the call despite assurances that capital controls will not inhibit long-term investors in any way. Their skepticism is due to factors that include political and regulatory risks as well as the side effects of the capital controls on the strategies being practised by private-equity investors.
