PETALING JAYA: In spite of trade activities coming under pressure amid tighter restrictions due to the high number of Covid-19 cases, the country’s trade surplus for the year is expected to be sturdy.
Although some sectors may see cancellation of future export orders and disruption in supply chains due to the tighter restrictions from the lockdown, on the whole, economists are confident that the nation’s trade surplus would remain sizable this year.
In a bid to curb the pandemic, the government has announced the enhanced movement control order (EMCO) in parts of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur that started on June 3 and will last until the 16th of this month.
