There are signs that business trends are improving for entrepreneurs, says Datuk Ewon Benedick.

The Entrepreneurship and Cooperative Development Minister said on Thursday (Nov 23) in reply to a question from Roslan Hashim (PN-Kulim Bandar Baharu) during the Minister's Question Time that a survey conducted by his ministry between 2020 and 2022 shows that the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and increases in the cost of basic items led to entrepreneurs having to shut down their businesses.
