KUALA LUMPUR: While overall trade value remained on the rise, Malaysia's exports were a slight 1.1% lower year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM126.62bil in May 2025, owing to a decrease in outbound shipments of manufactured and mining goods.
Manufacturing exports fell a marginal 0.3% y-o-y to RM110.01bil owing to a drop in shipments of products related to petroleum, chemicals as well as iron and steel, said the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (Miti) in its latest trade report.
