Malaysia has right formula for health, economic recovery — Tengku Zafrul

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 21): Malaysia has the right formula to position it on the recovery path in terms of both public health and the economy, said Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz. He said the combination of the recent decisions involving the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) and the Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR) as well as Budget 2021 initiatives and the Malaysian Economic and Rakyat’s Protection (PERMAI) assistance package including the expediting of vaccine procurement and encouraging screening of employees were seen as the right formula. “Most importantly, the measures must be seen in totality, not in isolation,” he said in presenting the 37th Implementation and Coordination Unit Between National Agencies (LAKSANA) Report today.
