SINGAPORE - Malaysia and the broader 10-country Association of South-east Asian Nations have emerged as the biggest beneficiaries of the supply chain realignment caused by rising US-China tensions, according to Trade Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz.
As the geopolitical divide between the world’s two biggest economies grow, Malaysia is positioning itself as just that neutral base as it looks to lure the likes of Microsoft Corp and Alphabet Inc’s Google. “We’re seeing the realignment of supply chain because of what’s happening – the trade war, the tightening of monetary policy, inflation,” Mr Zafrul said, adding that it “has actually benefited our region, Asean in particular and Malaysia as well.”
Mr Zafrul cautioned that the slowdown in the world’s No. 2 economy may weigh on the South-east Asian nation’s activity, given China’s position as Malaysia’s top trading partner as well as a key source of foreign direct investment.
