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. Malaysia is vulnerable to a fall in world commodity prices or a general slowdown in global economic activity.

The NAJIB administration 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. Gross exports of goods and services constitute more than 80% of GDP. The oil and gas sector supplied about 29% of government revenue in 2014. As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has previously 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. Falling global oil prices in the second half of 2014 have strained government finances, shrunk Malaysia’s current account surplus and put downward pressure on the ringgit. The government is trying to lessen its dependence on state oil producer Petronas.

Bank Negara Malaysia (the central bank) maintains healthy foreign exchange reserves; a well-developed regulatory regime has limited Malaysia's exposure to riskier financial instruments and the global financial crisis. In order to attract increased investment, NAJIB 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.

Malaysia is a member of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement negotiations and, with the nine other ASEAN members, will form the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

MSIC CODE

46594 : Wholesale of industrial machinery, equipment and supplies

 

 

INDUSTRY :

MACHINERY

 

 

 

Malaysia is presently the leading manufacturer of automation machinery and equipment (M&E) in the ASEAN region with a total of 22 companies in production. The machinery and equipment industry has expanded and produce a diverse range of machinery which give importance to the overall industrial development of the country, due to its cross cutting linkages with all industrial sectors.

 

Growth of the domestic-oriented industries such as machinery and transportation equipment is expected to remain favourable in 2014, in line with resilient domestic consumption and robust private investment. However, the output of general-purpose machinery decreased 8.8% in the first seven moths of 2014 (January - July 2013: -1.8%) due to the decline in manufacture of air-conditioning machine (-17.9%) as well as lifting and handling equipment (-8.2%).

 

Besides, shipments of machinery, appliances and parts continued to expand rapidly by 12.5% in the first seven months of 2014 (January - July 2013: 1.4%) with stronger demand from Singapore, the US, China and Australia. Growth was mainly contributed by specialized machinery for specific industries (16.3%), particularly for civil engineering and manufacture of semiconductors as well as general industrial machinery and equipment (9.2%) such as heating and cooling equipment and parts as well as mechanical handling equipment and parts.

 

According to the World Bank's Doing Business 2014 Report, Malaysia improved to 15th from 25th position in the 2014 Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index, with highlighted Malaysia's efforts in building its competitive position in electronics, automotive, and machinery manufacturing to move up the value chain into high technology and skill-intensive segments.

 

The Government has identified the M&E industry to be one of the key areas for growth and development. The growth will focus on the manufacture of high value-added and high technology M&E. For the further development of the M&E industry, six strategic thrusts have been set during the Third Industrial Master Plan (IMP3), 2006 - 2020 period:-

- Promoting Malaysia as a regional production, trading and distribution centre for M&E

- Rising the development and promotion of selected specialized and high technology M&E

- Strengthening the engineering support industries and support services

- Developing Malaysian Standards for machinery and equipment

- Developing sufficient highly skilled workforce

- Strengthening the institutional support for the further development of the industry

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2003, the Subject is a Sole Proprietorship, focusing on trading of packaging machines. Having been in the industry for over a decade, the Subject has achieved a certain market share and has built up a satisfactory reputation in the market. It should have received supports from its regular customers.

Investigation revealed that the Subject concentrates only on the local market. This narrow market segment has placed the Subject at high business risk and limits its business expansion opportunities. Any adverse changes to the local economy might have a negative impact on the Subject's business performance. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is average. This indicates that the Subject has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the Subject.

As the Subject is registered as a sole-proprietorship, its financial statement are not available for analysis. As such, we are unable to ascertain the Subject's financial health. The Subject's ability to meet its obligations is very much dependent on the owner's financial strength.

The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms.

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