It said external trade would be driven by the manufacturing sector, backed by strong global trade activities and meaningful recovery in commodity prices.<\/p>\n

While overall external trade was expected to remain positive, growth would be at a slower pace, as the prevailing trade war between the United States and China could derail global trade and hence affect export performance, it said in a research note.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, JF Apex said Malaysia\u2019s exports in March 2018 exceeded consensus expectation, growing 2.2 per cent, year-on-year, (y-o-y) to RM84.5 billion, mainly supported by steady exports to Hong Kong, the European Union and India.<\/p>\n

Imports in March 2018 contracted to 9.63 per cent, y-o-y, marginally below market expectation mainly due to subdued growth in all main components.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs such, the country\u2019s trade surplus registered the highest value since October 2008 at RM14.7 billion, a 172 per cent increase, y-o-y,\u201d it added. \u2014 Bernama<\/p>\n
