HONG KONG, March 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) Emerging Markets Direct released their latest Malaysia Banking Industry Report 1H11. Contributed by higher net interest and financing income and revenue related to financing activities, the pretax profit of Malaysia Banking Industry increased by 17.8% y-o-y to RM6.13 million in 3Q10. As of September 2010, total assets held by financial institutions in Malaysia amounted to RM1, 508.57 billion, a record growth of 10.12% y-o-y. Commercial banks represent the largest segment of all financial institutions in Malaysia (total asset at RM1, 192.84 million), with Maybank taking up 27.18% of the local market share and ranking first domestically.

About 55.61% of total loans in the Malaysian banking system(http://www.emergingmarketsdirect.com/products/Malaysia-Banking-Industry.html) is driven by the household sector (eg. Mortgage,hire purchase loans for passenger cards and personal loans), which was up 13.4% y-o-y as at September 2010. Education, health and other sectors saw a robust growth in total loans at a rate of 69.83% y-o-y. Overall, the total loans in the banking industry grew by 11.84% y-o-y to RM854.18 billion.

The banking system remains very stable with ample liquidity to meet demands for deposits withdrawals. In the third quarter of 2010, deposits saw a growth of 8.90% y-o-y, which was mainly derived from financial institutions, businesses and individuals. The loan-to-deposit ratio as well as the financing-to-deposit ratio were rather stable and remain at 81.3% and 87.8% respectively.
To sustain high level of stability, the banking system adheres to the rules and requirements specified under Bank Negara Malaysia's mandate. All banking institutions in Malaysia are required to comply with the Risk-Weighted Capital Ratio requirement (8%) set by the central bank. As of 3Q10, the ratio remained strong at 14.75%, far more than the specified ratio.

Growth story continues in the Islamic banking segment, Islamic banking in Malaysia is the fastest growing sector in the global banking industry with an average annual growth rate of 20% over the past 5 years. Malaysia is the world's largest market for sukuk or Islamic bond market, which takes up around 65% of the global market share. To date, Malaysia has 17 Islamic banks including Islamic units in HSBC holdings, OCBC and Standard Chartered PLC.
