Consumer spending to slowly normalise post-MCO


Consumer spending

PETALING JAYA: The consumer sector is bearing the brunt of the movement control order (MCO) in Malaysia, which is now entering the third week as the nation battles against the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

Consumer spending has halved throughout the period, resulting in most categories recording steep declines, except for food and beverage (F&B), communications and education.
