KUALA LUMPUR: Against a backdrop of improving economic conditions, Malaysia will likely improve its position in the annual IMD World Talent Ranking next year in attracting foreign talent. Professor Arturo BrisThis will boost the pool of domestic talent for Malaysia in the long-term. “Compared to the top Asian scorers namely Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and China, Malaysia has invested more in public education,” Bris said. In the latest IMD World Talent Ranking 2017 which assesses 63 countries’ capacity to attract and retain the talent their businesses need to thrive, Malaysia slipped seven places to 28th position. Performance is assessed in terms of investment and development, appeal (attracting and retaining talent and motivation), and readiness (skills and education).
