Malaysia's credit standing is still good, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad today, pointing to the fact that his administration was still being offered new loans.<br /><br />"Our credit rating is very good because people are coming forward to offer bonds for us to borrow.<br /><br />"But of course, we have to (consider) the best offer. Samurai bonds will attract an interest rate of 0.5 percent," said Mahathir during a press conference after the Budget 2020 speech.
