Miti: Malaysia records trade deficit in April after 269 consecutive months of surplus

Thursday, 04 Jun 2020 12:28 PM MYT

During the reviewed month, exports contracted by 23.8 per cent to RM64.92 billion, while imports decreased by 8.0 per cent to RM68.42 billion, said the International Trade and Industry Ministry . Commenting on the performance, Senior Minister and the International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali said that the declines in both exports and imports were expected given that most countries around the world were under some form of lockdown to contain the spread of Covid-19.

"Malaysia's exports are expected to improve in the coming months as the government allowed more industries to resume operations and at full operating capacity since May 4, 2020. The contraction of manufactured goods, which constituted 85.5 per cent of total exports, was due to lower exports of electrical and electronic products, manufactures of metal, machinery, equipment and parts, petroleum products as well as optical and scientific equipment, the Ministry said.
