PETALING JAYA: It remains to be seen whether the positive trade numbers registered in the first quarter of financial year 2025 (1Q25) can be replicated in the months to come, as US tariffs continue to be the main wildcard in the country’s trade outlook.
Malaysia’s trade performance in April 2025 saw a double-digit expansion in both exports and imports. Trade increased by 18.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM261.94bil, the highest monthly value ever recorded since August 2022.
