KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) will work with its ASEAN counterparts to encourage businesses to use local currencies in facilitating trade within the region, said Deputy Governor Datuk Marzunisham Omar.
He noted that the central bank's focus at the country level as ASEAN-Malaysia chairmanship this year is to look at how the region should come together to further strengthen inter-regional trade and investment flows.
