Economic uncertainty: Trump recently announced tariffs on importing semiconductors, with flexibility on some companies in the sector. — CHAN BOON KAI/The Star
Wong pointed out that even before tariff tensions escalated, Malaysia had begun benefiting from the China Plus One strategy where companies diversify their manufacturing from China. On April 2, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs for countries around the world, including Malaysia, which was hit with a 24% tariff.The Trump administration, however, exempted smartphones, computers and other electronics from its reciprocal tariffs.
“Accelerating value creation within the supply chain is key. That’s how we stay competitive – by going higher in value, not just bigger in volume,” Wong added. “It is imperative that the Malaysian government is flexible on removing barriers to trade across the board to avoid targeted tariffs on Malaysia’s semiconductor companies,” said Williams.
Shafiq Kadir, an equity analyst at CGS International, said the impact of the tariffs on semiconductors would be minimal, as re-shoring such an extensive back-end process to the United States is a tall order.
