GE16 in 2026?
Trade value is expected to reach RM3 trillion in 2026, with export growth resilient despite geopolitical tensions and global supply chain disruptions. However, this projection depends heavily on volatile external factors including Middle East conflict, US-China trade dynamics, and commodity price fluctuations that Malaysia cannot control. Moreover, the economy remains over-reliant on electronics and palm oil exports, lacking diversification into higher-value sectors, making trade performance vulnerable to sector-specific downturns.
