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 sustained budget deficits, has forced Kuala Lumpur to begin to address fiscal shortfalls, through initial reductions in energy and sugar subsidies and the announcement of the 2015 implementation of a 6% goods and services tax. The government is also trying to lessen its dependence on state oil producer Petronas. The oil and gas sector supplies about 32% of government revenue in 2013. Bank Negara 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 earlier raised possible revisions to the special economic and social preferences accorded to ethnic Malays under the New Economic Policy of 1970, but retreated in 2013 after he encountered significant opposition from Malay nationalists and other vested interests. In September 2013 NAJIB launched the new Bumiputra Economic Empowerment Program (BEEP), policies that favor and advance the economic condition of ethnic Malays

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

MSIC CODE

82 : OFFICE ADMINISTRATIVE, OFFICE SUPPORT AND OTHER BUSINESS SUPPORT ACTIVITIES 

 

 

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. In the year 2012, Communication service sector expanded to 9.3% propelled by the higher consumption in mobile phone services and data communication. Meanwhile, 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.

 

In year 2012, Services sector recorded a growth of 5.8% underpinned by Wholesale & Retail and Communication. The growth of 5.7% 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.

 

Accroding to Ministry of Finance, the services sector are expected to remain upbeat in 2013, with the accelerated implementation with major initiatives under the National Key Result Areas and continued investment in the seven services subsectors under the National Key Economic Areas. It said that these initiatives are expected to drive the wholesale and retail trade, finance and insurance, and communication subsectors, which are expected to grow 6.8%, 5.2% and 8.2% respectively.

 

The Business Services sector is a key one which continues to accelerate changes within specialised areas in many developed nations and consequently drive higher economic growth and greater efficiency. According to the Minister of Human Resource, the Business Services sector has a unique role to play in driving the competitiveness of a wide range of business segments, industries and professional services. Therefore, the Malaysian business services sector is on track to contribute RM78.7 billion to the gross national income (GNP) by 2020. The growth of the service sector are also expected to create 107,000 new jobs by 2020.

 

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

 

The Subject was incorporated in 2010 as an others company, focusing on administration service and offshore trading. The Subject has been in business for less than 5 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. 


We regard that the Subject's management capability is weak. Without capable management, the Subject is unlikely to be successful and often contribute to unacceptable levels of accountability. Weak management can affect productivity, profitability, sales growth and ultimately can result in the failure of a business. 


No financial accounts are available for analysis. As such, we are not able to comment on the Subject's current financial standing. 


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


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