States Experiencing Export Declines Amidst National Growth

Despite a national increase in Malaysia's total trade and exports in May 2026, several states recorded a decrease in their export values. These states include Sabah, Pahang, Melaka, Selangor, Labuan, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, and Perlis, indicating varied economic performance across different regions of the country.
Sabah and Pahang Led Export Reductions

Sabah experienced the most significant decline in exports, with a reduction of RM1.1 billion in May 2026 compared to the previous year. Following closely, Pahang saw its exports decrease by RM905.8 million during the same period. These figures highlight substantial contractions in the export sectors of these two states.
Melaka and Selangor Also Faced Export Challenges

Melaka's exports declined by RM569.7 million, and Selangor reported a decrease of RM509.1 million in May 2026. These reductions, while smaller than those in Sabah and Pahang, still represent notable downturns in the export performance of these industrially significant states.
Other States Recording Export Declines

Further contributing to the list of states with reduced exports were Labuan, with a decline of RM282.9 million, and Kedah, which saw its exports fall by RM183.4 million. Negeri Sembilan recorded a decrease of RM154.1 million, and Perlis experienced the smallest decline among the affected states, with exports down by RM10.3 million.
