PETALING JAYA: While there are challenges, particularly with the declining trade surplus and uneven external demand, economists say there are opportunities for exports to grow if effective measures are implemented.
Enhancing sectoral performance, expanding into new markets, capitalising on high-growth areas such as electrical and electronics (E&E), agriculture and halal products are crucial to maintain a positive trade balance, said the economists.
