Trade between Sri Lanka and Malaysia has been increasing over the last few years and Malaysia has emerged as one of Sri Lanka’s major trading partners. Sri Lanka exports to Malaysia include natural rubber and rubber based products (tires, gloves etc.), precious and semi-precious stones (rubies, sapphires and emeralds), tea, apparel and coconuts. Sri Lanka’s main imports from Malaysia are petroleum, palm oil, timber and timber products, rubber and rubber products, cocoa, vegetable fats, chemicals, urea, plastics, iron and steel.

Malaysia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with its GDP growing at an average of 6.5% per annum for almost 50 years. The economy has traditionally been fuelled by its natural resources but is expanding in the sectors of science, tourism, commerce and medical tourism. Today, Malaysia has a newly industrialised market economy.
