Malaysia's Trade Hits Record High in 2025
Published
Malaysia recorded a new high in its total trade in 2025. The country's total trade reached RM3.06 trillion, equivalent to approximately US$754.28 billion. This figure represents an increase of 6.3 per cent compared with the previous year.
This achievement shows that Malaysia's economy continues to grow. Trade covers the export and import of goods, and it is one of the country's important sources of income. Malaysia is a member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), a forum that brings together major economies in the Asia-Pacific region.
This success also has an impact on workers and businesses across the country. When trade increases, employment opportunities and investment usually also grow. However, the government and business sector need to keep monitoring developments in global markets to ensure that this growth continues.
Overall, Malaysia's trade performance in 2025 reflects the country's increasingly strong position in the regional and global economy.
