PRIME Minister Muhyiddin Yassin will launch the short-term economic recovery plan for June to December this month, said Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz. 

Tengku Zafrul said the plan would still focus on three key objectives, namely to empower people, propel businesses, and stimulate the economy.

He said the plan was defined by four characteristics – that it must be agile and dynamic, prioritise public-private sector cooperation, ensure comprehensive communication by upholding transparency and openness, and have a data-based approach.

“The short-term economic recovery plan represents a chance for us to take advantage of new opportunities arising from the Covid-19 crisis for the sake of the nation’s future development. 

“InsyaAllah (God willing), the initiatives that will be announced by the prime minister would enable us to achieve the objectives that have been set,” he said when presenting the Prihatin-Laksana’s seventh accomplishment report today. – Bernama, June 2, 2020.
