However, the current New Normal era does not only about adapting to health behaviours.

In a live-stream video on BFI Finance’s official YouTube channel, Metta explains that emergency fund functions as a precaution for emergency conditions that require quite a large amount of ready cash, for instance in case of sickness or sudden job loss. By having an emergency fund, basic necessities can still be fulfilled until conditions return to normal again.

A society with adequate financial literacy can also stimulate economic growth in the country.
