KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 26 (Bernama) — Malaysia’s trade, exports, imports and trade surplus in 2022 maintained its stellar performance despite the challenging global environment. This showed that the Malaysian business community remained resilient following robust global demand and high commodity prices, said MATRADE Chief Executive Officer (CEO) YBhg. Datuk Mohd Mustafa Abdul Aziz.
Last year, Malaysia’s trade reached 2.8 trillion ringgit, crossing the 2 trillion ringgit mark for the second successive year. Export performance was remarkable, expanding by 25 per cent, to 1.6 trillion ringgit, surpassing 1.5 trillion ringgit mark for the first time.
