KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s export prices rose by 0.1 per cent to 151.2 points in February, compared to the previous month, while import prices climbed 0.3 per cent to 128.1 points, mainly contributed by mineral fuels, according to the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM).
Chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin highlighted that the higher export prices were primarily driven by an increase in the indices of mineral fuels (2.5 per cent), food (0.7 per cent) and miscellaneous manufactured articles (0.6 per cent).
