KUALA LUMPUR: The government will hold talks with banks with regards to extending the six-month moratorium on loans and financing repayments which ends in September, says Finance Minister Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

"We can't force the banks and will continue to engage with them," he said at a press conference following a visit to the Prasarana headquarters on Sunday .
