Chua: Stable economy will cushion impact of sliding ringgit


Allaying concerns: Chua chairing the Budget 2016 focus group meeting at the Finance Ministry in Putrajaya.

PUTRAJAYA: The economy will continue to grow and the unemployment rate will remain controlled despite the sliding ringgit, says Deputy Finance Minister I Datuk Chua Tee Yong.

He said the effects of the ringgit’s depreciation would be felt by the people but the country’s stable economy would help cushion the impact.
