The Malaysian Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) said exports rose 45.3% to an all-time high of 184 billion MYR, surpassing the previous record set in April and registering the fastest export growth since August 2022.

A senior economist noted that export growth is expected to moderate next year, as the electronics and electrical (E&E) sector depends on the global semiconductor upcycle. Meanwhile, slower economic growth in Malaysia’s major trading partners could weaken external demand in 2026.
