This evening, I chaired a meeting of the Special Session of the National Security Council (NSC) to detail the facilities for individuals who have completed two doses of vaccine injections. Also discussed are the facilities that will be enjoyed by the economic sector.

This matter needs to be refined carefully to ensure that the government's efforts to restore the economy and the quality of life of the people can be implemented smoothly and effectively.

Insya'Allah, I will announce these facilities soon and hopefully can benefit the best individuals who have received complete vaccinations and also help our economic sector by taking into account the safety of the people.

I would also like to emphasize here that the government's strategy is to provide vaccinations to as many adults as possible in Malaysia to ensure that the country's recovery can be carried out smoothly.

The European Commission has today adopted a number of measures to increase its level of ambition on sustainable finance. First, the new Sustainable Finance Strategy sets out several initiatives to tackle climate change, and other environmental challenges, while increasing investment – and the inclusiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – in the EU's transition towards a sustainable economy. The European Green Bond Standard proposal, also adopted today, will create a high-quality voluntary standard for bonds financing sustainable investment. Finally, the Commission adopted today a Delegated Act on the information to be disclosed by financial and non-financial companies about how sustainable their activities are, based on Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy.

These initiatives highlight the EU's global leadership in setting international standards for sustainable finance. The Commission intends to work closely with all international partners, including through the International Platform on Sustainable Finance, to cooperate on building a robust international sustainable finance system.
