KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 (Bernama) — Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) will announce Malaysia’s highest-ever trade figure for 2025 this afternoon, marking another significant achievement for the country’s economy.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the detailed announcement would be made by MATRADE this afternoon, involving Malaysia’s trade volume reaching an all-time high of RM3 trillion.
“The figure will be announced in detail this afternoon with the trade volume for 2025 reaching an all-time high. So, that is why I have formulated the need for policy clarification, good discipline and governance and exploring new markets,” he said in reply to a question at the Dewan Rakyat today.
The Prime Minister was replying to a supplementary question from Datuk Seri Hasni Mohammad (BN-Simpang Renggam) regarding the government’s steps to address global trade market tensions.
He said the trade achievements were registered despite global geopolitical uncertainties and changes in major power policies that directly affect international trade.
“It is indeed a statement that should be given attention because of the geopolitical positions and changes, the uncertain policies of several major powers including the United States, whether related to tariffs or several other decisions involving countries in Europe, the Greenland and Venezuela issues, which affect many international trade transactions as well as the penetration of new markets,” he said.
