According to IE (International Enterprise) Singapore, it will hit a whopping $1.6 trillion by 2015, up from $810 billion last year. Singapore's trade is expected to cross the $1 trillion mark in 2009, and hit $1.6 trillion by 2015. Singapore with 4.5 million population is a larger trading nation in nominal USD terms as compared to Malaysia. I believe since 1965 till now Malaysia has always been trailing Singapore in terms of external trade.
