PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s trade performance is expected to remain steady in the near term, supported by front-loaded exports ahead of potential US tariff hikes and continued diversification in export markets – though economists caution the outlook for the second half of the financial year 2025 (2H25) is clouded by persistent uncertainty.
Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said Malaysia’s trade is likely to remain robust in May, building on April’s strong momentum.
