Tengku Zafrul: Strong trade recovery likely in 2024


"We are forecasting growth this year to be around 5% of total trade,” Tengku Zafrul said.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government is projecting a 5% growth in trade this year, buoyed by the better-than-expected rebound in January 2024.

It is slightly higher than the trade growth projected by the World Trade Organisation of 3.3% for 2024.
