Month-on-month, the trade surplus rose by RM0.6 bln or 4.9% to RM12.6 billion in Feb, while it widened by RM1.6 bln or 14.1% from a year ago.

 

Total exports expanded by 11.8% to RM74.5 billion, year-on-year, while total imports rose by 11.3% to RM61.8 bln in Feb – see figure 1. Both higher exports of major commodities and major manufactured products have contributed to the double digit growth of total exports– see table 1. Meanwhile, higher imports were mainly due to higher import of intermediate goods (+20.4%) and consumption goods (+10.1%).

 

In a year-on-year basis, export growth was contributed by an expansion in exports to Singapore, United States, Republic of Korea, China, and Taiwan. Meanwhile, Malaysia saw higher imports mainly from United States, India, Taiwan, Republic of Korea, and China in Feb.

Note from Publisher
i Capital will pause its publication for one week in the week beginning 29 Apr. However, www.icapital.biz will be updated as usual. Apart from the public holiday, the operating hours of our Kuala Lumpur office will be as usual. Volume 35, number 34 of i Capital will henceforth be dated 9-15 May 2024.

As extreme and unpredictable weather conditions increase in frequency, the impact of climate change has become more apparent and will become even more so in future. Therefore, it is not surprising that in a recent international survey, over half of 16- to 25-year-olds reported feeling very or extremely worried about climate change. While it is easy to feel small before such a great challenge facing the earth, any positive action, no matter how small, by individuals collectively, can bring significant positive impact to our delicate environment. So, instead of feeling despair and doing nothing, everyone can contribute to improving the situation by doing small things like picking up the rubbish on our way to work, use recycle bags instead of plastic bags when shopping, not to let the tap water run while brushing our teeth, etc. Just start committing to small positive changes now and encourage others to do so.
