DUBAI: Emaar International, the Middle East's largest property developer with a market capitalisation of more than US$40 billion (US$1=RM3.34) always has Malaysia as a future investment destination but has no plans to go into the country just yet.
Emaar managing director Issam Galadari said the company which has a property project in Lombok, Indonesia, has been eyeing Malaysia for a long time.
He said the property developer has been looking particularly at Johor, but has not made a decision whether to come and invest.
"Malaysia is an attractive market but so far we have not been approached by any local companies to set up joint ventures," said Issam at the sidelines of a Kuala Lumpur Business Club seminar on attracting United Arab Emirates (UAE) investments into Malaysia.
Established in 1997, UAE-based Emaar has US$60 billion worth of commercial and residential projects globally.
