Abstract

This paper examines the use of free trade agreements (FTAs) by Malaysian companies. It is based on a survey administered to firms involved in the manufacturing and services sectors. The study discusses the levels of utilisation of the various FTAs that Malaysia has signed as evidenced through the use of Certificates of Origin (COOs). The study also presents findings on firms’ perceptions regarding the use of COOs, both in the manufacturing and services sectors. The survey results and the statistical analysis of the determinants of the use of FTAs reveal obstacles to their use by Malaysian firms. These findings indicate the need for the government and relevant agencies to make additional efforts to encourage greater utilisation of existing FTAs.
