KUALA LUMPUR (Nikkei Markets) -- Malaysia's October exports contracted 6.7% from a year earlier due to lower shipments of key electrical and electronics products, official data Wednesday showed.
Exports in October totalled 90.6 billion ringgit ($21.7 billion), according to data released by the Department of Statistics. That compared with September's 6.8% year-on-year decline. Trade surplus however, widened to an all-time high of 17.3 billion ringgit as imports fell faster than exports.
