PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s trade trajectory remains positive heading into 2025, but mounting global uncertainties and tariff tensions are set to test the resilience of its external sector, according to the Investment, Trade and Industry Ministry (Miti), which cautioned that global demand challenges may temper both investment and domestic growth prospects.
“For now, exports for this year are anticipated to grow by 5.2%. Moving forward, however, there is a need for caution given the uncertainties of global demands, which may temper growth in investments and domestic demand,” Miti said in a statement.
