MATRADE Holds Middle East Crisis Webinar to Guide 500 Malaysian Exporters

MATRADE hosted a webinar on the Middle East Crisis with 500 participants, featuring perspectives from its offices in UAE, Egypt, and Kazakhstan alongside industry leaders from Malaysia's Mid-Tier Companies. Recommended strategies for exporters include diversifying markets to ASEAN, Central Asia, South Asia, and Africa; adjusting shipment terms; strengthening buyer verification; exploring oil and gas and technical service exports; and leveraging AI and digitalisation for cost control. Despite rising logistics costs, the situation remains manageable and Malaysia is well-positioned as a reliable supplier in global markets.
