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. NAJIB's Economic Transformation Program (ETP) is a series of projects and policy measures intended to accelerate the country's economic growth. The government has also taken steps to liberalize some services sub-sectors. 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 about 35% of government revenue in 2011. Bank Negera Malaysia (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 fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.The Subject's profit fell sharply because of the high operating costs incurred. Generally the Subject was profitable. The favourable return on shareholders' funds and return on net assets indicate that the Subject's management was efficient in utilising the assets to generate returns.

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The Subject's debtors ratio was high. The Subject should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. The unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the Subject taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the Subject and its suppliers and the Subject may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.

]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the Subject in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the Subject was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the Subject is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

The interest cover showed that the Subject was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the Subject was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. The Subject was highly geared, thus it had a high financial risk. The Subject was dependent on loans to finance its business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate, the Subject will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the Subject has to service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the Subject's turnover and the interest it needs to pay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall Assessment :

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Subject recorded lower profits as its turnover showed a erratic trend. The Subject's management was unable to control its costs efficiently as its profit showed a downward trend. The Subject was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the Subject should be able to repay its short term obligations. With the favourable interest cover, the Subject could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. The Subject's gearing level was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high interest rates.

INDUSTRY :

MANUFACTURING

 

 

 

The Manufacturing sector is one of the important sectors to the growth of the Malaysian economy. According to Ministry of Finance, the manufacturing sector is expected to grow 4.9% in year 2013. Export oriented-industries are expected to benefit from the higher growth of global trade, while domesticoriented industries expand in line with the better consumer sentiment and business confidence. The resource-based industries are envisaged to grow steadily attributed to improved demand for petroleum, chemical, rubber and plastic products. With better job prospects and higher disposable income, the transportation equipment subsector, in particular, the passenger car segment is expected to expand. 

 

Value-added of the manufacturing sector expanded 5% during the first half of 2012. Output of the sector rose 5.2% during the first sevenmonths of 2012 in line with the increase in sales value of manufactured products by 6.5% to RM363.1 billion. Output from domesticoriented industries continued to expand 8.6% while export-oriented industries grew 4.1%.

 

According to the Department of Statistics, the sales value of the Manufacturing sector in January 2013 posted a growth of 7.4% (RM3.6 billion) to record RM52.4 billion as compared to RM48.8 billion reported in year 2012. Meanwhile, month-on-month basis, the sales value has decreased by 0.4% (RM0.2 billion) as compared with the preceding month. The sales value in December 2012 has been revised positive 7.5% year-on-year to record RM52.6 billion. 

 

Output of rubber products increased 3.6% in the first seven month of 2012 mainly supported by continuous demand for rubber gloves. Output of rubber gloves grew 5.9% on account of the expansion in the global healthcare industry and wider usage of gloves in other sectors. Similarly, output of catheters, especially for use in medical appliances, also registered a strong growth of 12.6%. Nevertheless, production of rubber tyres and tubes reduced 10.9% in tandem with slowing external demand from the automotive industry, especially China. 

 

Meanwhile, production of wood and wood products rebounded 4.6% largely supported by higher demand for wooden and cane furniture (33.5%). The positive performance was attributed to vibrant higher demand from major export destinations such as China and the United States (US) for Malaysian-made furniture. Demand from China accelerated further following the country’s rising income level and the implementation of zero import duty on Malaysian made-furniture. 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.

 

The output of chemicals and chemical products rose 9.9% in the first seven month of year 2012 on account of increasing demand for plastic products (11.8%) and basic chemicals (11.1%). External demand for plastic packaging materials surged during the early part of the year 2012, particularly from Japan and Thailand, as manufacturers resumed operations, which were interrupted by natural calamities and power outages. Chemical production are expected to show 7.5 % in year 2013 inline with Malaysia as one of the largest contributor in world Chemicals & Chemical industries. 

 

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 assolar 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.
