2025.12.1904:00:00UTC+00Malaysia's Export Growth Slows Dramatically in November

Kuala Lumpur, December 19, 2025 — Malaysia's export growth took a notable dip in November as the year-over-year comparison reveals a slump from previous months. According to the latest data released, export growth in November 2025 slowed to 7.0%, a significant decrease from the 15.7% recorded in October.

This slowdown in export growth underscores potential economic challenges that Malaysia may face as the drop marks almost a halved growth rate in a span of just one month. Analysts are evaluating the factors contributing to this decline, which could range from global economic conditions to domestic factors impacting trade.

Comparing this to the same period last year provides a more telling picture of the gradual deceleration in Malaysia's export sector. As the world's markets continue to navigate an uncertain economic climate, the implications of Malaysia's reduced export growth are likely to solicit further scrutiny and strategic adjustments in its economic policies moving forward. The update on December 19 poses the question of how Malaysia will steer its economic ship to counterbalance this unexpected shift in its export trajectory.
