Malaysia has fallen significantly and is near the bottom of the heap in the '2021 Bloomberg Covid Resilience Ranking' for the month of June - ranking 51st position out of 53 economies measured in economy size of more than US$200 billion.

It is a sharp decline considering that Malaysia was ranked 16th on the same scale in January of this year, a time when the administration of Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin declared an emergency to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.
