Covid-19 has had an impact on all sectors and the manufacturing sector has not been spared. Currently, our focus is on building the resilience and sustainability of our manufacturing sector to preventing us from suffering from shocks brought about by crises, such as Covid-19. we have identified 76 opportunities for investment and value addition through our Manufacturing Resilience and Sustainability Policy Toolkit that we launched last month. These include the adoption of a do no harm principle, supporting SME development, and increasing the resilience of the manufacturing sector by ensuring long-term policy stability. By doing so, we can shelter the manufacturing sector from industrial and trade risks arising out of external shocks.
