    [SYDNEY] Some sectors of Australia's economy will require additional stimulus, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Friday.

    To prevent a prolonged economic depression triggered by Covid-19, Australia's government and central bank has pledged to spend A$250 billion (S$235 billion).

    Much of Australia's stimulus is expected to expire in September, but Mr Morrison said some additional support may be needed.
