Change the policy to ensure the economy

Many countries in Southeast Asia lift the blockade to protect the economy.

The governments of Southeast Asian countries are pushing ahead with reopening plans to strike a balance between controlling the epidemic and maintaining the flow of people and funds.

Manufacturing industries in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam are on the rise. Without the epidemic, these Southeast Asian countries are expected to be among the top 15 most competitive manufacturing countries in the world

Up to now, the epidemic in Southeast Asia has not decreased but increased. If the blockade continues as before, not only will the epidemic not be controlled, the country’s economy will likely collapse.

Affected by the epidemic, the business of European companies in Vietnam has been greatly reduced. The survey results showed that most European companies (76%) in Vietnam had poor operating performance in the past three months (June-August), and 29% of them said they were “very bad”. Currently, only 7% of companies are in good operating condition.

To this end, Southeast Asian countries continue to introduce new epidemic prevention measures to ensure the smooth reopening of the economy.

Although Southeast Asian countries have been fighting the virus longer than most countries in the world, they have failed to reduce the number of confirmed cases, but unemployment is increasing. In this case, the government has to choose to make changes.
