Govt focuses on policies to support businesses


PETALING JAYA: The decision on whether or not to grant moratoriums to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is very much dependent on whether the banks think that the SMEs have repayment issues, says Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.

However, the government can encourage policies that are helping and assisting the people, he said while expressing hope that banks and Bank Negara will continue to support the SMEs and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) that are genuinely facing difficulties.
