MONETARY AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS
September 2011
Price Conditions: Headline inflation, as measured by the annual percentage
change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), increased to 3.4% in September.
Higher inflation during the month was due mainly to the food and non-
alcoholic beverages category. The prices of vegetables and fish and seafood
increased following the expiration of the temporary festive season price
control scheme. Inflation in the transport category was lower during the
month, in the absence of further adjustments to the prices of RON95 petrol
and diesel in 2011. The increase in inflation was partly offset by declining
prices in the clothing and footwear and communication categories.
Monetary Conditions: Interbank rates were stable in September. In terms of
retail rates, the average base lending rate (BLR) of commercial banks
remained unchanged at 6.54% as at end of the month. Retail deposit rates
were also stable. The annual growth in broad money (M3) increased to 12.5%
in September and was supported by higher credit extended to the private
sector. Net financing to the private sector increased by RM10.8 billion in
September driven mainly by an increase in outstanding loans, as net private
debt securities (PDS) issuances moderated during the month. The banking
system loans outstanding expanded by 13.8% during the month, with higher
loans extended to businesses in the real estate; transport, storage and
communication; finance, insurance and business services and, wholesale and
retail, restaurants and hotels sectors. Loans to households also continued to
rise steadily, driven mainly by loans for the purchase of residential and non-
residential properties and personal use. Loan demand by businesses and
households moderated during the month.
Banking System: The banking system remained well-capitalised with the
risk-weighted capital ratio (RWCR) and core capital ratio (CCR) at 14.6% and
12.5% respectively. The level of net impaired loans remained stable at 2% of
net loans, while the loan loss coverage ratio was sustained at 95.9%.
Exchange Rates and International Reserves: In September, the ringgit
exhibited a mixed performance against the currencies of Malaysia’s major
trading partners. While the ringgit depreciated against the US dollar,
Japanese yen and Chinese renminbi, it appreciated against the Singapore
dollar and remained unchanged against the euro. The ringgit’s depreciation
against the US dollar was broadly in line with the regional trend, as mounting
concerns over the European sovereign debt crisis and the sustainability of
global economic recovery led to higher risk aversion and prompted some
investors to unwind holdings of emerging market assets. In October, the
ringgit posted a stronger performance against the US dollar as optimism over
possible progress towards resolving the European debt problems gradually
revived demand for emerging market assets. Against other currencies, the
ringgit appreciated against the Japanese yen and Chinese renmimbi, but
depreciated against the euro and Singapore dollar. The international reserves
of Bank Negara Malaysia stood at RM427.9 billion (equivalent to USD134.4
billion) as at 14 October 2011, sufficient to finance 10 months of retained
imports and is 4.6 times the short-term external debt.
