Similarly, exports to the US increased by 2.4 per cent to RM90.81 billion — the highest recorded since 2008, it said in a statement today. “The decades of close cooperation between Malaysia and the US transcend beyond economic partnership and they form a strong foundation for our future growth,” the ministry said.
“This is strengthened by the fact that we have received a commitment from existing US investors in Malaysia that they will continue to undertake significant reinvestment in further expansion, diversification as well as research and development – which further highlights their confidence in the outlook of the Malaysian economy,” it added.
