KUALA LUMPUR: SME Bank has allocated RM200mil under the Pemerkasa matching grant financing to assist entrepreneurs from the 3D sector (dirty, dangerous and difficult) who are still affected by the Covid-19 pandemic especially in the manufacturing, services, agriculture and construction business
The move by the bank was following the announcement of Pemerkasa by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
In a statement, SME Bank group president/ chief executive officer Aria Putera Ismail (pic) said, the 3D sector deserves attention and assistance from financial institutions as their business operations were badly disrupted due to the movement control orders since last year.
