Anwar: US still values Malaysia ties, one month to avert 25 pct tariff
Rubio (left) meets with Anwar at the Parliament building in Kuala Lumpur today. – Bernama photo KUALA LUMPUR (July 10): Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the US still values its ties with Malaysia and also wants to continue working with other South-east Asian countries, after meeting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio here today. The US had earlier this week announced a new tariff rate of 25 per cent which will take effect on August 1 on goods imported from Malaysia, and Anwar confirmed that he had discussed this matter with Rubio today. 'We raised the issue of tariffs by President Trump. He said that letter is a general letter but there is still one month's time to negotiate. 'And he knows Malaysia is the US' main trade partner in this region and he will give consideration and present our views,' Anwar said in an audio recording made available to the media. Anwar said their discussion largely focused on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean). 'The US still considers its relationship with Malaysia to be important and also wants to maintain and increase cooperation with Asean and Asean nations, and understands our stand to have good ties and trade with all countries.' Anwar said Malaysia did not have to choose between its trade partners but could do business with all countries. 'While the US is an important trade partner, we will enhance our ties with China, Asean countries and other countries for the citizens' interest and for the nation's benefit.' Malaysia is currently chairing Asean, which has 10 members. Malaysia is also hosting the 58th Asean Foreign Ministers' Meeting from July 8 to July 11. Rubio arrived here today as part of the US delegation for a series of Asean-led meetings, and was reported to be expected to hold talks with senior Malaysian officials including Anwar. – Malay Mail anwar ibrahim malaysia Marco Rubio tariff us

Ringgit closes higher versus US dollar amid escalating trade tensions
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit rebounded to end higher as the US dollar fluctuated on Thursday amid rising trade tensions after the United States government issued new tariff threats on the global market, an analyst said. At 6pm, the local note rose to 4.2410/2505 against the greenback from Wednesday's close of 4.2500/2540. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the US Dollar Index fell 0.12 per cent as Donald Trump announced that he will impose an import tariff of 50 per cent for copper effective Aug 1. "Such disruptive policies are set to raise the cost of doing businesses in the US and ultimately would undermine the long-term growth trajectory as prolonged uncertainties could take a serious toll on business," he told Bernama. In the meantime, investors will shift their focus on the release of initial US jobless claims data later today as it stands out as a crucial economic indicator that could sway market dynamics. At the close, the ringgit was mostly higher against a basket of major currencies. It strengthened against the British pound to 5.7716/7845 from 5.7787/7842 at Wednesday's close and was slightly higher versus the euro to 4.9751/9863 from 4.9780/9827. However, it slipped against the yen to 2.9014/9081 from 2.8983/9012 previously. The local note was mixed against ASEAN currencies. It improved vis-à-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3159/3236 from 3.3182/3219 yesterday but decreased versus the Thai baht to 13.0196/0548 from 12.9946/13.0128. The ringgit traded flat against the Indonesian rupiah at 261.3/262.1 and was also unchanged versus the Philippine peso at 7.51/7.53

Malaysia should strengthen Asean ties, engage in multilateral cooperation to counter trade pressures: Experts
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia should continue to strengthen its intra-Asean trade relations and engage in multilateral partnerships, as this approach will reduce dependence on any single country and benefit all parties by minimising both trade and non-trade barriers, including tariffs and the movement of goods across borders. Amid an increasingly dynamic geopolitical landscape and rising unilateralism, Malaysia cannot control the actions of other countries that impose tariffs and duties as pressure tactics. However, it can choose to respond diplomatically and in ways that align with its national interests. Economist Dr Nungsari Ahmad Radhi said Malaysia should maintain its current strategy of negotiating with the United States while simultaneously forming alliances and bolstering existing trade relations, especially within Asean. 'We leverage US companies to lobby the US government, since a significant portion of electronics and electrical exports involve intra-firm trade by US companies across borders,' he told Bernama today. However, Nungsari emphasised that Malaysia must consistently support multilateral institutions over the long term. 'We need to do more to integrate Asean economies, even on a bilateral basis if not all at once, such as Malaysia-Singapore. We should deepen cooperation between Malaysia and Thailand, and definitely between Malaysia and Indonesia. 'Achieving free movement of goods between Malaysia and Singapore in the form of a customs union, Malaysia and southern Thailand, Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia, and Sabah and Sarawak, with Kalimantan, are areas that should be explored and strengthened,' he added. Sharing the same view, Putra Business School Associate Professor Dr Ahmed Razman Abdul Latiff said that as long as there is room for negotiation, Malaysia should seize the opportunity, since some countries, like the Philippines and Vietnam, among others, have successfully reduced tariffs. 'We hope that this time the negotiations will succeed in lowering tariffs, if not eliminating them. We must continue negotiating because it is not impossible to secure exemptions or reductions.' Malaysia has been negotiating with Washington to reduce these tariffs since April, with the latest round of talks held on June 18. Ahmed Razman pointed out that Malaysia cannot rely solely on the outcome of these negotiations. 'We must continue to seek new markets, strengthen the domestic economy, and diversify our industrial products so that if tariffs are imposed on one sector, the impact will not be severe.' Ahmed Razman stressed that Malaysia should boost intra-Asean trade, given the vast untapped potential. 'There is still room to increase trade among Asean countries. Trading within Asean reduces supply chain disruptions and tariff impacts, while also supporting local economies and the Asean economy as a whole,' he explained. Ahmed Razman elaborated that Malaysia's participation in agreements such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and BRICS would lower costs through tariff elimination among member countries, reduce import duties, and facilitate the movement of goods. 'That is where I see the potential for cooperation with countries that have signed agreements with us,' he added. The US has imposed a 25% tariff on all Malaysian products imported into the country, separate from sector-specific tariffs, effective Aug 1. This rate is one percentage point higher than what was announced in April. In a letter to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dated July 7, US President Donald Trump stated that 'the 25 per cent number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity we have with your country'. However, the letter also noted that no tariffs would apply if Malaysia or Malaysian companies choose to build or manufacture products within the United States, and that Washington 'will do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally, and routinely - in other words, in a matter of weeks'. Malaysia has been negotiating these US tariffs with Washington since April, aiming to reduce the earlier 24% tariff, with the most recent discussions held on June 18. Senior lecturer at the School of Economics, Finance and Banking at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Muhammad Ridhuan Bos Abdullah, said that in the short term, industrial supply chains affected by the new tax will be disrupted as companies absorb the shock. 'A national stabilisation policy is crucial to drive growth by responding effectively to tariff issues, as competition is the main challenge. Bank Negara Malaysia, along with monetary and fiscal policies supported by appropriate instruments, must be more capable of absorbing the impact of US tariffs.' Muhammad Ridhuan said Malaysia's response policies to support competitiveness need to be stronger. 'We must understand that labour costs in the US have been rising steadily, making it an important factor for businesses. 'This trend is driven by factors such as wage increases, higher interest costs, and a competitive labour market. Rising labour costs impact various industries there,' he added. – Bernama
