The Reciprocal Trade Agreement (ART) between Malaysia and the United States is designed as a sovereign, rules-based framework to ensure stable and predictable commercial relations amid rising unilateral tariff actions. According to Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, Malaysia’s Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry, the ART respects Malaysian law, protects national sovereignty, and does not force liberalization beyond Malaysia's chosen policy direction. The agreement provides a platform for ongoing dialogue to resolve mutual trade concerns.
The ART enhances trade predictability and strengthens Malaysia's position within a rules-based global trade system, offering certainty to exporters and supporting the investment ecosystem. Tengku Zafrul described the ART as a strategic protection tool, vital for safeguarding Malaysia’s nearly RM200 billion export market in 2024 and maintaining sustainable competitiveness. The government is committed to keeping the investment community informed during the ART negotiations with the US.
Malaysia’s positive trade and investment trends are reflected in the RM285.2 billion approved investments from January to September 2025, marking a 13.2 percent year-on-year growth. Foreign investment accounted for 52.9 percent of this, demonstrating strong confidence from both domestic and international investors. The country’s GDP growth reached 5.2 percent in the third quarter of 2025, the fastest in a year and above expectations, positioning Malaysia to meet the upper range of Bank Negara Malaysia’s 4.0 to 4.8 percent GDP growth forecast for 2025.
