Malaysia is considering allowing limited exports of unprocessed rare earths to bolster its supply-chain role in autos, defense and consumer goods, foreign media reported. The government suspended unprocessed rare-earth exports in 2024 to spur domestic processing investment; a senior official said authorities are now assessing the feasibility of relaxing the curbs amid intensifying competition for the minerals.

Syed said Malaysia has 16.1 mln tonnes of inferred rare-earth reserves; the government has previously valued them at Ringgit 970 bln (USD 237 bln).
