Imports/Exports in Malaysia

Overview by Globlatrade.net:

Malaysia is well known for its openness to international trade. Foreign trade represents more than double of the country’s GDP.

The trade balance is structurally positive. The global economic crisis, even if it caused a reduction in exports, it did not affect the trade balance since imports also dropped on a larger proportion than exports.

The country mainly exports electric and electronic equipment, machinery, mineral fuels and hydrocarbons, animal and vegetable oils and fats, wood and charcoal. The country mainly imports electric and electronic equipment, machinery, fuels and oils, plastic products, iron and steel. Its main trade partners are the United States, Singapore and Japan, followed by China and the European Union.
