KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's exports jumped 54.5 per cent year-on-year to RM215.1 billion in September, driven largely by strong demand for electrical and electronic (E&E) products.
The Statistics Department said E&E exports increased by RM45.1 billion from a year earlier, making them the largest contributor to export growth.
Total trade rose 53.7 per cent to RM396.5 billion, with imports climbing 52.7 per cent to RM181.4 billion.
The trade surplus widened 64.9 per cent to RM33.7 billion, marking Malaysia's 77th consecutive month of trade surplus since May 2020.
