The current account surplus in the balance of payments rose by 10.9% qoq to RM30.4bn in the 1Q, from a surplus of RM27.4bn in the 4Q of last year. This was on account of a pick-up in merchandise trade surplus. A larger deficit in the income account and current transfer, however, offset part of the gain. Deficit in the services
account, on the other hand, remained stable during the quarter.
