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

47820 : Retail sale of textiles, clothing and footwear via stalls or markets

 

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

 

 

 


According to the Retail Group Malaysia (RGM), the wholesale and retail trade sector forecast to grow to 6% in year 2013. During the first quarter of year 2013, RGM is estimating the retail industry to grow 6.9%. Many retailers have been enjoying better sales since the government handed out cash from mid-January of 2013 under the second round of Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia to more than 12 million Malaysians. Bookstores and related retail stores have also started enjoying rising sales since the RM250 1Malaysia Book Voucher was distributed to 1.3 million private and public university students. Besides, since early February 2013, handphone traders and retailers selling smartphone accessories have started to benefit from the RM200 rebate on smartphones for 1.5 million young adults aged between 21 and 30 years with a monthly income of not more than RM3,000.


The wholesale and retail trade sector grew 6.1% in the first half of the year 2012 driven by strong domestic consumption and the increasing number of large format stores operating in Malaysia, including 180 foreign hypermarkets, superstores and departmental stores as at end of August 2012. In addition, other indicators such as imports of consumption goods were higher by 15.2%.


In 2012, the wholesale and retail trade sector growth to 5.5% driven by higher consumption which benefited from Government initiatives under the 2012 Budget such as BR1M, Baucar Buku 1Malaysia (BB1M) and the RM100 assistance for all primary and secondary school students. The performance of the sector will also be supported by ongoing efforts to modernise the retail segment under the ETP. In 2012, 500 retail shops and 50 workshops are targeted to be modernised under the Retail Shop Transformation (TUKAR) and Automotive Workshop Modernisation (ATOM) programmes, respectively. As at end of July 2012, 95 workshops have been modernised, surpassing the yearly target, while 393 retail shops have been modernised.


Growth of the sector is anticipated to remain encouraging with ongoing efforts by the Government to increase its contribution to the economy. Major initiatives include increasing the number of large format stores such as hypermarkets, superstores and departmental stores are carried out to boost the economy.


Over 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is contributed by domestic consumption, therefore the wholesale and retail sector plays a crucial role in driving Malaysia's growth over the next decade despite the ongoing global economic slowdown. By 2020, Malaysia's wholesale and retail sector is expected to boost the country's total Gross National Income (GNI) by RM156 billion, creating 454,190 new jobs.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2010, the SC is a Partnership company, focusing on retail of textiles. The SC has been in business for 3 years and it has slowly been building up contact with its clients while competing in the industry. However, it has yet to enjoy a stable market shares as it need to compete many well established players in the same field.


Investigation revealed that the SC concentrates only on the local market. This narrow market segment has placed the SC at high business risk and limits its business expansion opportunities. Any adverse changes to the local economy might have a negative impact on the SC's business performance. Being a small company, the SC's business operation is supported by 3 employees. We regard that the SC's management capability is weak.


As the SC is registered as a partnership, it is not required by law to file its financial statements for public review. As such, we are unable to ascertain its present financial health.


We noted that the SC's supplies are solely sourced from local market. Being highly dependent on a limited number of suppliers could lead to delays, lost of revenue and increased costs if such resources become unavailable or shortage.


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. Being a young and small player in the industry, the SC however faces fierce competition from other well-established players and it is likely to be exposed to currency fluctuation risk which in turn may impair its profitability.


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