Malaysia Still Likely To See Wider 2021 Current Account Surplus
Country Risk / Malaysia / Wed 23 Jun, 2021
Key View
- We at Fitch Solutions maintain our current account balance forecast at 5.5% of GDP for 2021, and still see a weak imports outlook helping to support the overall trade balance, likely resulting in a wider current account surplus than in recent years.
- Exports are likely to continue being supported by relatively high commodity prices
