malaysia - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Malaysia, a middle-income country, has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. Under current Prime Minister NAJIB, Malaysia is attempting to achieve high-income status by 2020 and to move farther up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in Islamic finance, high technology industries, biotechnology, and services. The NAJIB administration also is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and reduce the economy's dependence on exports. Nevertheless, exports - particularly of electronics, oil and gas, palm oil and rubber - remain a significant driver of the economy. As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has profited from higher world energy prices, although the rising cost of domestic gasoline and diesel fuel, combined with strained government finances, has forced Kuala Lumpur to begin to reduce government subsidies. The government is also trying to lessen its dependence on state oil producer Petronas. The oil and gas sector supplies more than 40% of government revenue. The central bank maintains healthy foreign exchange reserves, and a well-developed regulatory regime has limited Malaysia''s exposure to riskier financial instruments and the global financial crisis. Nevertheless, Malaysia could be vulnerable to a fall in commodity prices or a general slowdown in global economic activity because exports are a major component of GDP. In order to attract increased investment, NAJIB has raised possible revisions to the special economic and social preferences accorded to ethnic Malays under the New Economic Policy of 1970, but he has encountered significant opposition, especially from Malay nationalists and other vested interests.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

MSIC CODE

74999 : Other business services n.e.c.

 

 

INDUSTRY :

BUSINESS SERVICES

 


The services sector is expected to continue playing an important role in driving the malaysia economy. The services activity might slow down going forward, considering that at the global level, the services sector has already taken some hits. The sector's output expansion was the weakest in the 2010 to 2012 growth period.


The services sector is projected to continue to drive growth in 2012. Growth will be supported by consumer-related sub-sectors, which is likely to cushion the effects of slower trade-related activity during the year 2012. In the wholesale and retail service sub-sector, growth will be led by the retail segment, in line with the trend in private consumption. However, growth in the wholesale services expected to be lower. Growth in the finance and insurance sub-sector is expected to remain firm, supported by bank lending activity. In the insurance segment, growth is expected to emanate from the general insurance business, following favourable motor vehicle sales and the implementation of the new motor cover framework which will enhance efficiency in the motor insurance and takaful sector.


Growth in the communication sub-sector is projected to be sustained, amidst margin compression resulting from rising competition among service providers. Growth will be supported by the expected launch of advanced wireless technology, the ongoing widening of the High-Speed Broadband (HSBB) infrastructure and Government initiatives to promote broadband services nationwide. Growth in the transport and storage sub-sector is anticipated to moderate, amidst the uncertain external outlook. Malaysia's banking sector had seen quite an overhaul in the past decade and was now a model of stability. While it seemed likely that the international situation would slow lending somewhat in 2012, it would still rise at a respectable rate, and the long-term path should see further growth and reform.


The first half 2012 indicates, Services sector recorded a growth of 5.0% underpinned by Wholesale & Retail and Communication. The growth of 6.4% in Wholesale & Retail Trade service was supported by the expansion in retail segment particularly in household appliances & equipments, pharmaceutical products and personal care products services. Meanwhile, Communication service sector expanded to 9.4% propelled by the higher consumption in mobile phone services and data communication. In first half 2012, the robust construction and oil & gas exploration activities have stimulated the growth in Business Services.


Investments in the services sector in January-March 2012 totalled RM17.64 billion with 1,197 approved projects. Domestic investments in January-March 2012 accounted for 68.4% (RM12.07 billion), while foreign investments were 31.6% (RM5.58 billion). The projects approved during this period are expected to provide 19,894 job opportunities.


The Islamic financing is already an important part of the overall local industry. Islamic banks held nearly 20% of total bank assets at the end of May 2012. Sukuks (Islamic compliant 'Bond') comprised over 40% of local bonds. Around the world, banking assets and Islamic-compliant securities amount to around US$1.3trillion, having grown by 15% annually over the last decade until 2012. The 2012 Budget provided tax deductions for expenses incurred in the issuance of particular sukuks. The banking sector's gross impaired loan ratio to rise only slightly in 2012, from 2.7% to 3%. The loans to deposits ratio was 76% at the end of January 2012, a comfortable level that would be main­tained through the year 2012.


Malaysian government has used various measures to promote the development of its service industries. Policies pursued by the government of Malaysia in promoting consolidation within the banking sector, encouraging the development of private hospitals, and investing in port facilities could seek to strengthen the industries. The Malaysian government has liberalized some barriers to the foreign provision of services, and recent liberalization could result in an increase of contribution of services sector to the economy growth of the country.

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 2010, the SC is an offshore company, focusing on administration services and offshore trading. However, we were unable to further comment on the SC's current situation as its Registered Company has refused to disclose any information on the SC.


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. However, we are of the opinion that there are a large number of other companies in the same industry. In another word, we believe that the SC faces stiff competitions from other local players.


Based on the above unfavourable condition, we regard granting credit to the SC to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
