Tan Sri Dr. Munir Majid Chairman, CIMB ASEAN Research Institute President Repoter Daniel

KUALA LUMPUR: Middle-powers like the European Union (EU) and Asean should heed the lessons learned from Covid-19 about the importance of continued relevance of global openness and free trade, says the CIMB Asean Research Institute (CARI).

CARI chairman Tan Sri Munir Majid noted such points to be particularly pertinent as countries struggle to return to pre-Covid-19 growth numbers while having to respond to increasing public scepticism over the benefits of globalisation.
