THE banking sector needs to once again play a nurturing role, to guide new players in the knowledge economy the way it did for the manufacturing sector, said Second Finance Minister Datuk Dr Jamaludin Jarjis.
The new players now not only require funds to develop their businesses but also hand-holding in various aspects to succeed in business, he said in a speech read by his deputy Datuk Dr Shafie Mohd Salleh at the launch of Malaysia Debt Ventures Bhd (MDV) Nurturing Services and Nurturing Microsite in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
