2026.08.1404:00:00UTC+00Malaysia’s Current Account Surplus Narrows to 10.8B in Q2 2026

Malaysia’s current account surplus narrowed in the second quarter of 2026, easing to 10.80 billion from 15.20 billion in the first quarter of the year, according to data updated on 14 August 2026.

The latest figures mark a moderation in Malaysia’s external surplus position between the first and second quarters of 2026, suggesting a softer net inflow from trade in goods and services, primary income and secondary income compared with the start of the year. While the current account remains in positive territory, the smaller surplus may signal shifting external demand conditions or changes in the country’s trade and income balances over the period.

Analysts and market participants will be watching subsequent releases to assess whether the second-quarter outcome reflects a temporary adjustment or the beginning of a broader trend in Malaysia’s external accounts as 2026 progresses.
