Trade Performance for the Period of January- November 2016

Ministry of International Trade and Industry, 6 January 2017

Malaysia’s exports in November 2016 recorded a strong year-on-year growth of 7.8%, reaching RM72.83 billion, the highest monthly exports recorded in the first eleven months of the year. The achievement was supported by robust demand from major markets mainly from ASEAN, China, the European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA), Hong Kong and India. Imports in November 2016 grew by 11.2% to RM63.8 billion. Total trade rose 9.3% to RM136.63 billion while trade surplus stood at RM9.03 billion, making it the 229th consecutive month of trade surplus since November 1997.

Malaysia’s total trade for the first eleven months of 2016 increased by 0.5% to RM1.342 trillion compared with RM1.335 trillion in the corresponding period in 2015. During the period, exports were higher by 0.2% to RM710.38 billion while imports increased by 1% to RM631.83 billion with trade surplus of RM78.55 billion. On a month-on-month basis, exports, imports and total trade posted a growth of 5.2%, 7.3% and 6.2%, respectively.

Overall, exports of both manufactured and agricultural goods increased in the first eleven months of 2016. Exports of mining goods, however, declined.

For the first eleven months of 2016, exports of manufactured goods increased by 2.6% to RM584.54 billion. Higher exports exceeding RM1 billion were registered for electrical and electronic (E&E) products, chemicals and chemical products, optical and scientific equipment, machinery, equipment and parts, processed food as well as compared to 80.4% during the same period last year. Exports of agricultural goods rose by 3.5% to RM63.84 billion mainly on higher exports of palm oil and palm-based agriculture products. Exports of palm oil increased by 2.4% to RM37.77 billion, attributed to higher Average Unit Value (AUV). Exports of mining goods declined by 22.2% to RM57.09 billion due to lower exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and crude petroleum, due to lower AUV.

In November 2016, exports of manufactured goods grew by 7.9% to RM58.32 billion compared to November 2015. It accounted for 80.1% share of Malaysia’s total exports. E&E products expanded by 13.2% or RM3.06 billion, the fastest growth recorded thus far in 2016. Increases in exports were also recorded for chemicals and chemical products, transport equipment, processed food, iron and steel products, optical and scientific equipment, machinery, equipment and parts, as well as apparel and clothing accessories.

Exports of agricultural goods increased by 22.4% to RM6.9 billion, led by higher exports of palm oil and palm-based agriculture products. Exports of palm oil registered a double digit growth of 25.6% to RM4.07 billion, compared with RM3.24 billion in November last year. Exports of mining goods were down by 6.9% to RM7.01 billion, due to the decline in exports of LNG and crude petroleum. Exports of LNG and crude petroleum contracted by 21.3% and 6.1%, respectively due to lower AUV. On a month-on-month basis, all sectors registered increases. Manufactured goods increased by 2.5% or RM1.41 billion, mining goods ( 34.8% or RM1.81 billion) and agricultural goods ( 5.1% or RM337.8 million).

During January to November 2016, imports were valued at RM631.83 billion, increased by 1% from the same period last year. The three main categories of imports by end use were:

• Intermediate goods, valued at RM360.57 billion or 57.1% share of total imports, decreased by 1.1%, due mainly to lower imports of petroleum products;

• Capital goods (RM91.24 billion, 14.4% share, up 4.2%), due mainly to higher imports of floating structures; and• Consumption goods (RM60.59 billion, 9.6% share, up 7.9%), with higher imports of food products.

In November 2016, imports were higher by 11.2% to RM63.8 billion. Imports of intermediate goods amounted to RM35.47 billion, an expansion of 11.3%, capital goods (RM9.17 billion, 13.1%) and consumption goods (RM6.14 billion, 5.4%).
