Exports increased by 2.4% against the previous year
registering RM719.81 billion. Growth was contributed
by demand for both manufactured and mining goods
from markets within Asia and Europe. Encouraging
demand for Malaysia’s products and services in
new and emerging markets in Africa, West Asia and
South Asia further strengthened the overall export
performance. Imports rose 7% in 2013 from a year
earlier, to RM649.19 billion. The year 2013 marked the
16th consecutive year of trade surplus achieved by
Malaysia since 1998 with a surplus of RM70.63 billion.
Notwithstanding the various global
challenges in international trade in
2013, Malaysia’s trade grew by 4.6%
with total trade registering RM1.37
trillion compared with RM1.31 trillion
registered in 2012.
Malaysia’s total trade for the first half year of 2013
sustained at the same level compared with the
same period in 2012. However, robust export
growth of 8.9% in the second half was instrumental
in boosting the recovery of Malaysia’s exports for
2013.
