KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has the right formula to get on the recovery path in terms of both public health and the economy, says Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.

He said the combination of recent decisions involving the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), Statutory Reserve Requirement (SRR), as well as Budget 2021 initiatives, the Permai assistance package, expediting of vaccine procurement and increased screening of employees, were all part of the right formula.
