Summary of Malaysia's Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) Technical Note (February 2013)

Core Content

This technical note provides an in-depth analysis of Malaysia's financial sector, focusing on its performance, vulnerabilities, and the role of derivatives. It was prepared by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as part of a periodic consultation with Malaysia, using data available up to February 2013.

The report outlines the structure of Malaysia's financial sector, highlighting the roles of banks, insurance companies, and capital market intermediaries. It also evaluates the performance of the banking sector in terms of capital, asset quality, liquidity, and earnings efficiency. The use of derivatives in the financial system is examined, with particular emphasis on foreign exchange (FX) and interest rate derivatives.

The note discusses the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis on Malaysia's financial system, noting that the sector remained stable due to strong capital and liquidity positions. It also touches on the effects of European banks' deleveraging on Malaysia's financial system, emphasizing the relatively small presence of European banks and their limited exposure to the domestic market.

Main Points

1. Financial Sector Structure

Malaysia's financial system includes banking intermediaries, insurance companies, and capital market intermediaries.
Banking intermediaries are divided into two groups:
- Group 1: Supervised by BNM, comprising commercial banks (including Islamic), investment banks (co-regulated with the Securities Commission), and development financial institutions (DFIs).
- Group 2: Supervised by various government departments and agencies, including credit cooperatives, non-bank DFIs, and building societies.
The capital market is regulated by the Securities Commission (SC), and includes fund management companies, broker-dealers, investment banks, and securities and derivatives markets.
There is an offshore financial centre in Labuan, supervised by the Labuan Financial Services Authority, focusing on non-Ringgit foreign currency activities.

2. Banking Sector Performance

Capital: Malaysian banks are well capitalized, with Tier 1 capital ratios above regulatory thresholds. They are expected to meet Basel III requirements, barring extreme tail-risk scenarios.
Asset Quality: Asset quality has improved over the last five years, with a focus on household lending. Household debt reached 74.2% of GDP in 2011, up from 66.3% in 2006.
Liquidity: The banking sector has maintained healthy liquidity levels, with excess liquidity and deposit-to-total liabilities ratios indicating resilience.
Earnings Efficiency: Banks have shown improved efficiency in terms of return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and net interest margins (NIM), supported by strong capital buffers and efficient cost structures.

3. Financial Derivatives

Derivatives play a significant role in Malaysia's financial system, with notional value growing at a high rate.
FX derivatives and interest rate derivatives are the main categories, with Bursa Derivatives partnering with the CME Group.
Derivatives exposures are closely monitored, and the contribution to pre-tax profits is a key indicator of their role in the financial system.
Cross currency basis swap spreads and domestic excess liquidity are correlated, indicating the importance of liquidity in managing derivative risks.

4. Regulatory and Structural Developments

The Financial Sector Masterplan (FSMP) and Capital Market Masterplan (CMP) were key drivers of sector growth and development, leading to consolidation of the banking sector and enhanced competition.
The Herfindahl Index for the banking sector decreased by 27% over the decade, reflecting increased competition.
Government-linked institutions hold a significant portion of equity in major banking groups, ranging from 40–60%.
The financial system is highly interconnected, with interlinkages through the wholesale funding market.

5. Resilience During the Global Financial Crisis

Malaysia's financial system withstood the 2008 crisis well, due to strong capital and liquidity.
The impact on the domestic economy was primarily through trade channels, with European and U.S. markets being the most affected.
Interbank–treasury bill spreads increased slightly during the crisis, but remained low compared to other Asian financial centers.
The central bank took proactive measures, including lowering the OPR, extending deposit guarantees, and providing USD liquidity to banks.

6. European Banks' Deleveraging

European banks' claims on Malaysia amounted to 20% of GDP in 2011, with U.K. banks accounting for 80% of these claims.
Despite the global liquidity tightening during the fourth quarter of 2011, the impact on domestic banks was manageable.
Reliance on foreign currency funding was minimal, and banks were able to raise funds through the domestic bond market.
Basel III implementation is expected to be smooth, with high equity buffers enhancing stability and allowing for retirement of hybrid capital.

Key Information

GDP share of financial sector: The financial system's assets and liabilities have grown significantly, with institutional funds reaching 102% of GDP in 2010.
Non-bank credit intermediaries account for 40% of total financial system assets, with credit intermediation at 93% of GDP.
DFIs: These institutions have seen improvements in asset quality, with NPL ratios decreasing by 1.6 percentage points over three years, although still high at 7.2% in 2011.
Capital market growth: The capital market grew at an annual rate of 11%, with equity and bond issuance rising at 8%.
Basel III readiness: Malaysian banks are well-prepared for Basel III, with high capital buffers and adequate liquidity.

Conclusion

Malaysia's financial sector has demonstrated resilience and growth over the past decade, supported by strong regulatory frameworks, structural reforms, and macroeconomic stability. The banking sector is well capitalized and has shown improvements in asset quality and liquidity, while the capital market has expanded significantly. The sector's interconnectedness and use of derivatives highlight the need for ongoing risk monitoring and management. The impact of the global financial crisis was limited, and the deleveraging of European banks has not posed a major threat to Malaysia's financial system. Overall, the sector is well-positioned for future challenges, with robust regulatory oversight and continuous improvement in governance and risk management.
