Don: We must be creative to face economic storm head-on

PETALING JAYA: The global economic slowdown, coupled with the devalued ringgit and the US-China trade war, are among factors that showed the need for a special body to deal with such challenges and to cushion the impact of any uncertainty, say economic professors.

Describing the government’s move to have a body to address issues linked to the economy as “timely”, Prof Datuk Dr Amir Hussin Baharuddin said there should be multi-disciplinary action plans to deal with challenges amplified by the US-China trade war and Brexit, among others.
