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.

The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The SC's profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. The SC's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

:

[

5 Days

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SC kept adequate stocks to meet its normal business transactions without incurring excessive storage costs. The favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the SC. The SC had a favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable collection days. The SC could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.

[

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A low liquid ratio means that the SC may be facing working capital deficiency. If the SC cannot obtain additional financing or injection of fresh capital, it may face difficulties in meeting its short term obligations.

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The SC's interest cover was low. If its profits fall or when interest rate rises, it may not be able to meet all its interest payment. The SC was lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The SC was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the SC being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall Assessment :

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although the SC's turnover had increased, its profits had declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the SC's profit margin. Due to its weak liquidity position, the SC will be faced with problems in meeting all its short term obligations if no short term loan is obtained or additional capital injected into the SC. If there is a fall in the SC's profit or any increase in interest rate, the SC may not be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. The SC as a lowly geared company, will be more secured compared to those highly geared companies. It has the ability to meet all its long term obligations.

INDUSTRY :

MANUFACTURING


The manufacturing sector is expected to be driven by higher value-added activities in Malaysia.The GDP growth for first quarter 2012 indicating manufacturing maintain its growth of 4.5%, similar to year 2011.Malaysia recorded a 12% jump in approved investments in the manufacturing sector in the first quarter of 2012 compared with the corresponding period 2011. According to Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), manufacturing sector expected to improve in the third quarter 2012 despite concerns over external developments and the rising cost of production.


The rubber products sub-sector is expected to remain resilient supported by continuous improvements in medical and healthcare standards in emerging markets as well as demand from niche markets such as the oil and gas sector for rubber hoses. Malaysia rubber exports are forecast to grow at 10%, at the end of 2012 driven by global demand for medical gloves as well as rubber tyres and tubes.Rubber glove exports make up 70 % of total rubber shipments in Malaysia due to hospitals and clinics place more intrest on rising health and hygiene awareness.


The Malaysia government has growth target of 6.5% for wood based furniture where estimated to reach up to RM53 billion by year 2020.The government providing pioneer status for tax exemption and investment tax allowance for this industry as a boost up step towards produce good quality product and to meet the world demand.


Chemical production are expected to show 6.2% in year 2012 and 7.5 % in year 2013 inline with Malaysia as one of the largest contributor in world Chemicals & Chemical industries.


According to Malaysian Iron and Steel Industry Federation, first half of 2012 would remain weak for the local steel industry due to eurozone crisis, slowdown in China's economy and less robust construction activities in the developed countries. At first quarter 2012, the average local steel price is trading atRM2,300 per tonne compared with the average international price of US$740 (RM2,331) per tonne.


According to the Department of Statistics, Malaysia during the first quarter 2012, the manufacturing output increased due to activities in major sub-sectors such as petroleum, chemical, rubber and plastic products (10.5 %), and non-metallic mineral products, basic metal and fabricated metal products (3.9 %). Meanwhile, it's also announced that the manufacturing sector's sales grew by 10 % in May 2012 to record RM52.5 billion compared with RM47.7 billion in May 2011. The Industrial Production Index (IPI ) increased 7.6 % in May (2012) due to increases in manufacturing (6.5 %).


Tax and non-tax incentives provided by goverment encourage manufacturers to move up the value chain of manufacturing industry. The new growth initiatives by goverment in the manufacturing sector such as solar and medial services can be important drivers of growth apart from helping to diversify the manufacturing base and contributing to the resilience of the sector.

This indicates that the SC has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the SC.


Financially, the SC registered a higher turnover compared to previous year. However, its profits showed a reverse trend. The lower profit achieved was a result of higher operating cost and increased competition. Return on shareholders' funds of the SC was at an acceptable range which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. Due to its weak liquidity position, the SC may face working capital deficiency in meeting its short term financial obligations if no fresh capital are injected into the SC. Being a lowly geared company, the SC is exposed to low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. Given a positive net worth standing at MYR 343,347,237, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


Having a strong assets backing, the SC possesses latent assets as collateral for further financial extension. Hence, it has good chance of getting loans if the needs arises.

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.
