: The Ministry of Finance has denied approving any loan to airlines affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nikkei Asia reported today that AirAsia Group had secured a RM1 billion lifeline in the form of a loan from the government to help it deal with the coronavirus pandemic. “With reference to media reports circulating today, MoF would like to clarify that it has not approved any government financing or guarantee to any airline,” the ministry said in a statement.
According to Nikkei Asia, the loan will be made by a group of local banks under a government scheme and will be 80% guaranteed by MoF.
