The current account surplus in the balance of payments rose by 8.0% qoq to RM27.3bn in the 4Q, from a surplus of RM25.3bn in the 3Q. This was on account of a pick-up in merchandise trade surplus and a smaller deficit in current transfer. These were, however, offset partially by a deficit in the services account during the quarter, a reversal from a surplus in the previous quarter, while the income account suffered a larger deficit in the 4Q.
