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.

Current Ratio

:

[

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

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 lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The Subject was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the Subject being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies 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

In the last 5 years until year 2014, Malaysia earned between RM50 billion and RM70 billion a year from palm oil exports.

Besides, the ongoing implementation of Entry Point Projects (EPPs) under the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) on palm oil to enhance productivity of upstream and downstream activities will further boost the palm oil sector. Thus, palm oil sector is expected to grow 6.7% in 2014 (2013: 2.6%). Moreover, the total oil palm planted areas increased 2.8% to 5.3 million hectares as at end-June 2014 (end-June 2013: 5.2 million hectares) following the opening of 30,544 hectares of cultivated areas mainly in Sabah and Sarawak. Other than that, the production of palm oil is expected to growth by 1.6% (19.52 million tonnes) in year 2014, compared to 19.22 million tonnes in year 2013.

According to Kenanga Research, the estimated average crude palm oil (CPO) price for 2014 and 2015 is between RM2,100 and RM2,500 per tonne due to lower inventory estimate by end-2015. The estimated prices also lifted by factors such as biofuel demand and petroleum price level. But, the average price of crude palm oil (CPO) strengthened to RM2,542 per tonne during the first eight months of 2014 (January - August 2013: Rm2,309 per tonne). However, with production rising in the second quarter coupled with high inventory level (end-August 2014: 2.1 million tonnes), the price of CPO moderated to RM2,162 per tonne as at end-August 2014, and hitting a five-year low of RM1,914 per tonne in Sept 2014 as stockpiles surged to a more than 1 year high above 2 million tonnes. The moderation in CPO prices was also due to a surge in global supplies of edible oil, particularly the bumper harvest of soybean in the US.

Over the total exports of major products in year 2013, palm oil accounts 6.4% of share in the total exports. During the first seven months of 2014, export receipts of palm oil rebounded by 4.9% to RM25.8 billion (January - July 2013: -21.9%, RM 24.6 billion) due to higher export prices averaging RM 2,703 per tonne (January - July 2013: Rm 2,456 per tonne). As a measure to reduce the high inventory due to strong output, the Government has exempted export tax on CPO until December 2014. The Government's move to extend the export duty exemption for crude palm oil (CPO) has received positive reaction from industry players. The chairman of Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) said the move provided a stable effect on the CPO market prices.

In Budget 2015, there is an allocation of RM41 million for smallholders to plant and replant oil palm. The incentives for commodities announced in Budget 2015 will help alleviate the problems faced by the industry, especially the poor prices for rubber and palm oil.

According to the Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities, the Malaysian government will increase the amount of palm oil based bio-diesel in the national diesel supply mix from November 2014, in a move that will also help to increase consumption of crude palm oil (CPO) and reduce stockpile levels of the commodity. The implementation of the B7 blend will also increase the use palm oil which prices have softened due to oversupply in the market. According to the Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), CPO prices are expected to improve to between RM2,100 and RM2,500 in year 2015, lifted by factors such as biofuel demand from the B7 programme. CIMB Research estimates that the rollout could raise the country's palm oil demand by 263,000-390,000 tonnes per annum, or 1-2% of the total palm oil production in 2013.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Mature



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2005, the Subject is a Private Limited company, focusing on trading of palm oil products. 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. A paid up capital of MYR 2,000,000 allows the Subject to expand its business more comfortably. We considered that the Subject's business position in the market is much dependent on the efforts of its directors. 

Over the years, the Subject has penetrated into both the local and overseas market. The Subject has positioned itself in the global market and is competing in the industry. Its stable clientele base will enable the Subject to further enhance its business in the near term. Being a small company, the Subject's business operation is supported by 10 employees. 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. 

We noted that both the turnover and profits have increased compared to the previous year. The higher profit could be due to increase in turnover and better control over its operating costs. Based on the higher profitability, the Subject has generated a favourable return based on its existing shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. The Subject is in good liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by it current assets. Hence, it has sufficient working capital to meet its short term financial obligations. Being a lowly geared company, the Subject is exposed to low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. Given a positive net worth standing at MYR 7,443,411, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms. 

We noted that the Subject's supplies are solely sourced from local market. Being highly dependent on a limited number of suppliers could lead to delays, lost of revenue and increased costs if such resources become unavailable or shortage. 

Overall, the Subject's payment habit is good as the Subject has a good credit control and it could be taking advantage of the cash discounts while maintaining a good reputation with its creditors. 

The industry has reached its optimum level and is generally stable. It is saturated and very competitive. Thus, the Subject's growth prospect is very much depends on its capacity in sustaining its performance in the market. 

Based on the above condition, we recommend credit be granted to the Subject promptly.
