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

46329 : Wholesale of other foodstuffs

 

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING


The wholesale and retail trade sector grew 7.1% in the first half of the year 2011 supported by strong consumer spending amid favourable labour market conditions and sustained disposable income. This was reflected in the higher distributive trade index which increased 15.9%, with wholesale and retail trade indices increasing 19.2% and 7.8%, respectively.


It is anticipated that the retail industry will grow 6.0 per cent in the year 2012.


Malaysia's retail sector for 2011 is expected to grow 6 per cent or RM81.59 billion worth of retail sales, similar to the year 2010, due to concerns of high oil prices, declining purchasing power and high cost of doing business. The Middle East and North Africa civil wars have caused the world oil prices to climb. This has led to further rise in the cost of running retail businesses, especially in terms of transportation cost. Many retailers have no choice but to pass the increased cost to end consumers. At the same time, natural disasters (tsunamis, floods, droughts, snow storms, tornadoes and earthquakes) that occurred in all parts of the world has also led to a shortage in the supply of food and raw materials. The phenomenon has pushed retail prices up.In addition, the continual removal of government subsidies since 2010 has pushed inflation upwards. Consequently, rising prices of retail goods contributed to an expectation of moderate performance.


During the first seven months of 2011, other consumption indicators such as imports of consumption goods and credit card spending increased 12.8% and 11.8%, respectively. Sales of motor vehicles declined 3% on account of supply chain disruptions following devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.


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.


Meanwhile, the Government has introduced the Retail Shop Transformation (TUKAR) programme. Under this programme, selected large format retailers will assist small retailers to improve their premises and layout which include attractive product display shelves, enhanced lighting and point-of-sales system to manage product inventory,

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 1990, the SC is a Partnership, focusing on trading of food products, spices. The SC has been in business for over two decades. It has built up a strong clientele base and good reputation will enable the SC to further enhance its business in the near term. The SC is expected to enjoy a stable market shares.


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 10 employees. Overall, we regard that the SC's management capability is average. This indicates that the SC has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the SC.


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.


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. Hence, the SC is expected to benefit from the favourable outlook of the industry.


In view of the above, we recommend credit be proceeded to the SC with guarantee.
