November 18, 2015 , by vox vox

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 (Bernama) –The Ministry of International Trade and Industry hopes the Budget 2016 will help boost economic growth and trade figures.

Exports of US electronics manufacturers in Malaysia are to register 15-20% rise in the second quarter of 2009, and another 10% in the third quarter. The increase is driven by the stimulus packages implemented by governments worldwide, especially China.

THE CANADIAN MARKET FOR AUTO PARTS AND COMPONENTS
July 2, 2015 , by admin2
Higher demand for quality spare parts drives the growth of the automotive after-market rapidly in Canada. The increasing number of vehicles on the road translates into demand for spare parts and offsets the intense competition and market maturity in the automotive after-market. Research also suggests that owners of used vehicles turn to the aftermarket for parts and the prevalent aggressive driving style also leads to faster wearing out of tires and other parts of the vehicles. The automotive industry is Canada’s largest manufacturing sector, accounting for 12 per cent of manufacturing GDP and 24 per cent of manufacturing trade.
