This book explores Malaysia’s experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing the profound economic and societal challenges faced from 2020 to 2022.

The coverage of Malaysia’s post-pandemic recovery provides valuable insights into ongoing global issues. Contributors to this book address a wide range of topics, including unemployment, monetary and trade policies, tourism, human capital development, and women’s labor participation. They also examine the rise of the gig economy, poverty alleviation efforts, and social safety nets. By presenting model applications and empirical research, the book offers data-driven policy advice to handle challenges that arise from pandemics, such as rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, disparities and sustainability issues.

This book will interest academics and researchers in the field of econometrics, Asian economics and Malaysian studies. It will also act as a useful guide for NGOs, practitioners, public administrators, and economic policymakers involved in post-COVID-19 economic revival and policy development.
