The trade surplus expanded by 0.6%to 255.1 billion Linjit, and achieved a trade surplus for the 25th consecutive year.This is mainly driven by the strong exports of electrical and electronic products, petroleum products, liquefied natural gas and palm oil.

Looking forward to 2023, some institutions are concerned that factors such as the slowdown in world economic growth and reduced external demand will challenge Malaysia's economic recovery.



In December last year, the Malaysian Manufacturing Manager Index (PMI) continued to decrease from 47.9 in November to 47.8. Since September, it has continued to be below the 50 Rongku line, which will have a large negative impact on import and export trade.

According to the report of the Malaysian Investment Development Bureau, in the first three quarters of last year, Malaysia approved a total of 130.7 billion Linkt (about 4.43 Linjit) from China, and its investment from China reached 49.2 billion Linjit, with the highest proportion.

Lu Zhaofu said that Malaysia encouraged and welcomed more high -tech, energy conservation and environmental protection Chinese -funded enterprises to Malaysia to help Malaysia achieve economic transformation and industrial upgrading. It is expected that Chinese enterprises will continue to help Malaysia's economic development in terms of technology transfer and employment.



It is worth mentioning that China has become Malaysia's largest trading country for 14 consecutive years in 2022.The proportion of trade with China accounted for about 17.1%of Malaysia's total trade volume, and the trade volume increased by 15.6%year -on -year to 487.13 billion Linjit.
