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 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 also trying to lessen its dependence on state oil producer Petronas. The oil and gas sector supplied about 29% of government revenue in 2014. 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. 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.

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

]

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The high debtors' ratio could indicate that the Subject was weak in its credit control. However, the Subject could also giving longer credit periods to its customers in order to boost its sales or to capture / retain its market share. 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

[

2.96 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Favourable

[

3.74 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

:

Favourable

[

850.64 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.01 Times

]

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 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 :

Generally, the Subject's performance has improved with higher turnover and profit. 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 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.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : STRONG

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

The wholesale and retail trade is expected to increase 7.1% in 2015 (2014: 7.7%) driven by strong domestic consumption and higher tourist arrivals following the Malaysia Year of Festivals 2015. Besides, in 2014, the wholesale and retail trade subsector is expected to increase 7.7% (2013: 6.4%) supported by strong domestic consumption.

According to Retail Group Malaysia (RGM), the pharmacy and personal care sub-sector had slow growth rate of 2.6% for the first quarter of 2014, while "other specialty stores" grew at a rate of 3.5%. During the first quarter of 2014, fashion and fashion accessories recorded a sustainable growth of 6.3% as compared with the same period last year (3.6%).

The retail segment increased 10.1% (January - June 2013: 7.1%) attributed to brisk sales in retail outlets such as hypermarkets and large-scale superstores. Since the launch of the Small Retailer Transformation programme (TUKAR) in January 2011 up to end-July 2014, 1,761 small retailer stores (end-July 2013: 1,381) have been modernized to improve their competitiveness. In addition, the strong growth of the retail segment was supported by 1Malaysia Unified Sales held from 29 June 2014 to 1 September 2014 to attract foreign and local tourists to shop in Malaysia. Meanwhile, the wholesale segment expanded 8.2% (January - June 2013: 4.9%) due to higher sales of non-agricultural intermediate products, such as petrol, diesel, lubricants and household goods. Furthermore, food and beverage outlets, laundry outlets, car wash centres, abd health and beauty outlets took a hit from the water rationing in the Klang Valley since February this year.

On the other hand, in 2014, Malaysia's total trade is expected to grow 5.2% to RM1.44 trillion (2013: 4.5%; RM1.37 trillion) underpinned by recovery in key advanced economies, resilient regional demand, and partly due to the base effect arising from sluggish exports in the corresponding period last year. Gross exports are anticipated to expand 6% to RM762.8 billion while import decreased 4.3% to RM677.2 billion (2013: 2.4%; RM719.8 billion; 7%; RM 649.1 billion). Consequently, the trade surplus is expected to be higher at RM85.6 billion or 7.9% of GDP in 2014 (2013: RM70.7 billion; 7.2%).

Furthermore, gross exports rebounded by 10.7% to RM441.3 billion during the first seven months of 2014 (January - July 2013: -2.8%; RM398.5 billion), with manufactured and mining exports rising at a double digit pace of 11.4% and 12.5%. Shipment of agriculture products grew at a slower pace of 2.7%, primarily due to lower receipts of crude rubber (-24.6%) while export growth of other commodities remained steady. Consequently, exports of manufactured and mining products are expected to grow 6.1% and 6.4% in 2014 (2013: 5.1%; 3.3%). Meanwhile, agriculture exports are expected to rebound sharply by 4.5% in 2014 (2013: -14.4%) despite moderating commodity prices. Malaysia's top 3 trading partners are China, Singapore, and Japan.

Over 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is contributed by domestic consumption. Therefore the wholesale and retail sector plays a crucial role in driving Malaysia's growth over the next decade despite the ongoing global economic slowdown. By 2020, Malaysia's wholesale and retail sector is expected to boost the country's total Gross National Income (GNI) by RM156 billion, creating 454,190 new jobs.
