KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia's e-commerce income surged 10.4 percent year-on-year to 291.7 billion ringgit (62.6 billion U.S. dollars) in the first quarter of 2023, official data showed on Thursday.

The Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) said in a statement that this growth was primarily driven by manufacturing and services sectors.

As for 2022, the e-commerce income rose 6 percent year-on-year to 1.1 trillion ringgit.

According to DOSM, the growth can be attributed to the Malaysian government's initiatives aimed at establishing a regional e-commerce gateway, investing in e-commerce startups, promoting innovation through a regulatory sandbox, and enhancing communication and broadband facilities.

It said that these efforts have yielded substantial economic benefits, including increased adoption of digital technology and overall improved performance.
