Malaysia to return to trade surplus soon


External trade

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s trade balance for April 2020 suffered its largest deficit since 1984 but could return to a surplus for May, according to economists.

Malaysia is projected to return to a surplus in the coming months even as the country’s exports are forecast to remain weak ahead.
