KUALA LUMPUR: The government's RM5 billion financial guarantee initiative for the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is expected to provide a significant boost to the sector, particularly exporters, by strengthening their working capital and sustaining trade momentum amid current cost pressures.
Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) chairman Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican said sufficient financing access is critical for export-oriented companies, as working capital remained a key requirement in maintaining operations and fulfilling international orders.
