SHAH ALAM: Malaysia’s 2017 trade volume is set to surpass the RM1.5 trillion-mark, supported by its strong growth performance this year and steady global demand for electrical and electronics (E&E) products.

International Trade and Industry Minister II Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan said Malaysia’s total trade this year surpassed RM1 trillion in just seven months – a figure that is usually reached further in the year.
