Our trade in goods between January 2010 to November 2011 with ASEAN countries has resulted in a deficit versus Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam and a surplus versus Brunei, Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Singapore. What can we do to convert our large trade deficit with Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam into a surplus?
