With the theme of Generating the economy together, Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today unveiled the RM35 billion Economic Recovery Plan (ERP) which is focused on 3 core issues, namely:
- Empower the people
- Propel businesses
- Stimulate the economy
“The plan will cover 40 initiatives with a total of RM35bil, out of which RM10bil will be of direct fiscal injection. This is due to the fact that plenty of jobs and businesses are affected during the movement control order, and the economy will take time to fully recover,“ he said during the live session.
