Opportunity to recalibrate the economy

KUALA LUMPUR: ASEAN post-pandemic recovery is an opportunity for the region to recalibrate its growth trajectory to become more resilient, digitally-enabled, inclusive, and sustainable, said the regional grouping’s secretary-general Datuk Lim Jock Hoi.

Covid-19 had an unprecedented impact on health and socio-economic impact in the region but also presented the opportunity for the region to reassess its path, he said.Lim also stressed the significance of the region’s early commitment to cooperate instead of turning inward amid the coronavirus pandemic.
