Indeed, Ram Krishnna Rao, chief executive and co-founder of blockchain-based gold jewelry platform MarketOrders, told Finance Magnates that “geographically, [Malaysia is] located close to where the innovation is happening in this space: Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Korea, [which] all have been leading the way when it comes to Fintech innovations including blockchain and cryptocurrencies.”
Rao also pointed out that the country is also becoming increasingly attractive to Western countries who have an interest in finding a low-cost workforce: “we are seeing an increasing number of western companies utilising the tech talent in Asian countries where the population is increasingly becoming English fluent and the tech pool is growing and cheaper to employ,” he said.
Indeed, “as a Malaysian myself, I have seen the country as a whole and its people start to become aware of the Fintech opportunities available to them,” Rao commented.
Of course, technological advances are also boost ing business in Malaysia–” the infrastructure is also being developed with an increasing number of co-working spaces, good internet connectivity and the introduction of Digital Free Trade Zone (‘DFTZ’) by the Malaysian Government in 2017 to help local businesses export goods printing those in e-commerce,” Rao said.
