Data Overview
This report is the third in a series of reports on international trade and trade policy. In this series, we examine how international trade and Malaysia's trade policy integrate the effects of globalisation into the daily lives of Malaysians.

Article highlight
As highlighted in the first and second reports of this series, countries around the world, including Malaysia, propose, negotiate, conclude, sign, ratify and enforce international trade agreements as part of their international trade policy. The commitments made in these agreements can affect our daily lives, including the type, quality and quantity of the imported goods and services that we purchase and consume. Additionally, international trade agreements usually incorporate commitments that affect non-trade domestic policies.By discussing Malaysia's involvement in these trade agreements, it is hoped that more Malaysians would be able to better appreciate the implications of the commitments made by the Malaysian government in these trade arrangements on our daily lives.
