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.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 

 

Profitability

Turnover

:

[

2010 - 2014

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

[

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

4.18%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

5.08%

]

The Subject's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The management had succeeded in turning the Subject into a profit making company. The profit could be due to better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its resources. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds could indicate that the Subject was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Favourable

[

]

Debtor Ratio

:

Favourable

[

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

5 Days

]

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the Subject. The Subject had a favourable creditors' ratio where the Subject could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.

Liquidity

Liquid Ratio

:

Favourable

[

2.51 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Favourable

[

3.09 Times

]

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.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Nil

[

0.00 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.00 Times

]

The Subject's interest cover was nil as it did not pay any interest during the year. The Subject had no gearing and hence it had virtually no financial risk. The Subject was financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated fund. During the economic downturn, the Subject, having a zero gearing, will be able to compete better than those which are highly geared in the same industry.

Overall Assessment :

The higher turnover had helped to reduce the Subject's losses. 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. The Subject did not make any interest payment during the year. The Subject was dependent on its shareholders' funds to finance its business needs. The Subject was a zero gearing company, it was solely dependant on its shareholders to provide funds to finance its business. The Subject has good chance of getting loans, if the needs arises.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : FAIR

INDUSTRY :

MANUFACTURING

The manufacturing sector is expected to grow by 5.5% in 2015. It will be bolstered by strong domestic and export-oriented industries in line with growing investment activities and favorable external demand. Moreover, in 2014, the manufacturing sectors have spearheading growth. The manufacturing sector is estimated to grow at a faster pace in 2014 on higher exports of electronics and electrical (E&E) products as external demand improves.

The manufacturing sector expanded strongly during the first half of 2014, the highest growth in three years, spurred by higher global semiconductor sales. Value-added of the manufacturing sector expanded 7.1% during the first half of 2014. Production of the sector rose 6.6% in the first seven months of 2014 supported by resilient domestic demand and recovery in the external sector during the first seven months of the years. The sales value of manufactured products rebounded by 7.7% in the first seven months of 2014. The strong performance of the sector was on account of higher output at 9.4% from the domestic-oriented industries, particularly transport equipment, food and beverage.

The manufacturing sector continued to attract domestic and foreign investment with investment approved by Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) totaling RM47.4 billion during the first six months of 2014, mainly from Japan, China and Germany. Meanwhile, the capacity utilization rate remained steady at 80.4% during the second quarter of 2014 while average wage per employee and productivity improved to RM2,772 per month and 5.9%, respectively during the first seven months of 2014. Boosted by favorable domestic economic activity and recovery in the external sector, the manufacturing sector is expected to record a better performance with growth of 6.4% in 2014.

In the meantime, production of wood products rebounded by 5.1% largely supported by higher output in the saw-milling and planning of wood segment at 25.9% during the first seven months of 2014. The positive performance was attributed to vibrant residential and commercial construction activities which contributed to increased use of timber frame and glued laminated timber for cost savings compared to the use of concrete and steel. Increased demand from major export destination such as the US, Japan and Australia for Malaysian made furniture contributed to the higher output, particularly wooden and cane furniture which rebounded by 2.2%.

Production of rubber products contracted 0.3% in the first seven months of 2014 on account of slower demand for rubber gloves and rubber tyres. The decline in rubber tyres for vehicles was due to the weaker external demand from the automotive industry, particularly from China. Output of other rubber products contracted 3.8% following the product shift from rubber-based to plastics, silicones and metal alloys in the manufacture of medical devices.

Besides, exports of manufactured products are expected to grow 6.1% in 2014 boosted by the growing demand from advanced economies. However, during the first seven months of 2014, manufactured exports surged 11.4%. The robust growth was buoyed by strengthening demand in the US and EU, reflecting significant exposure of Malaysian exports to the economic performance in the advance economies. The strength in export was broad-based with robust growth in both E&E and non- E&E subsectors.

Under budget 2015, the Government will provide incentive in the form of capital allowance on automation expenditure to encourage automation in the manufacturing sector, which may help in the manufacturing sector.
