I am confident that the country will also accept the new coins that we are launching today. Unlike banknotes, changing our coins is a much more complex process. The logistical issues are many. For instance, when we stop issuing the one and two cents, there was a rush to return these coins to the commercial banks even though they are still legal tender.
As the above indicates, there are continued negative interactions of production, income, and expenditure. Given the current considerably low level of economic activities, the economy is unlikely to transit immediately to a self-sustained recovery led by private demand, although a further deterioration in the economy is expected to cease gradually from the effects of the comprehensive economic stimulus package.
