‘Malaysia’s economy to rebound’


The Finance Minister also quoted a news report from an international media company which ranked Malaysia as the fifth key investment and business destination among the world’s developing economies for 2021, surpassing China, the Philippines, India and Indonesia.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s economy is expected to rebound faster once the country has successfully controlled and alleviated the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, says Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.

He said this expectation is based on the effective lockdown index, whereby an international consultant had predicted that Malaysia is among the three countries with the most room to control and alleviate the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021.
