Entrepreneurs weighing business expansion into Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe often compare Malaysia and Romania. Starting a business in Malaysia offers affordability, simplified incorporation, and access to ASEAN markets. Romania, as an EU member, provides access to European trade and a growing IT and manufacturing sector. This comparison explores both destinations across key business areas to help investors make informed decisions.
Here’s a quick overview of the key differences for easy reference.
| Factor | Malaysia | Romania |
|---|---|---|
| Business Environment | Stable legal system and investor-friendly policies | EU-aligned policies, but bureaucratic delays possible |
| Corporate Tax Rate | 24% | 16% |
| Capital Gains Tax | No | Yes |
| Ease of Incorporation | Fully digital, fast process | Straightforward but slower for non-EU citizens |
| Business Costs | Low operational costs across sectors | Low labor cost; higher urban office costs |
| Market Access | ASEAN, RCEP, CPTPP markets | European Union single market |
