Opt-in moratorium more manageable for banks

In good hands: There is a concern on the liquidity of banks as cash flow may be affected as a result of the moratorium, however, an analyst understands that Bank Negara will provide liquidity support.

THE second round of the blanket loan moratorium is expected to be less painful and more manageable for the banks.

This time around, as borrowers need to opt in to enjoy the payment deferment, chances are high that fewer individuals and businesses would participate in the moratorium.
