What Is the Presidential Election Cycle Theory? The theory suggests that markets perform best in the second half of a presidential term when the sitting president tries to boost the economy to get re-elected.
ERDOGAN’S ECONOMIC POLICIES Turkey has been plagued by a currency crisis and skyrocketing inflation since 2021, which economists say are the result of Erdogan’s unorthodox belief that raising interest rates will increase inflation. Simsek said Turkey had no other option but to return to “rational ground.” In a sign that Erdogan’s new administration might pursue more conventional economic policies, Simsek also said there were no “shortcuts or quick fixes” but vowed to oversee Turkey’s finances with “transparency, consistency, accountability and predictability.”
Those who bet on Affin are banking on the mega projects in Sarawak (which is also trying to invite the Harvard of China not sure is Tsinghua University or Fudan University to open up a branch in Sarawak). Those with basic economic knowledge will know that weakening ringgit is a dangerous sign for economic crisis as the main problem is the US carry trade and local interest rate has lagged behind the curve which caused the hot money reverted back to US shore. Instead of collecting data for PADU, the minister of economy should collect data to determine which companies are exposed to high debts and whether or not these companies will cause systematic risks to our banking system. It seemed that our minister of economy was not trained in Economics 101 as he kind of saying that falling ringgit is good for the economy as it will attract more foreign investors to invest in Malaysia but this argument made no sense at all as foreign investors will not come to Malaysia for cheap ringgit (the yield of ringgit is too low) as foreign investors only interested to know whether our high school students are well educated and our labor are competitive enough to produce good quality products for them to sell at international marketplace but first of all we need to well verse in international language or else how can we write Python programming to control an automated machines invented by these foreign investors. Why is falling ringgit bad for local company? AirAsia's cost structure was 40% jet fuel and jet fuel is traded in USD but AirAsia's air tickets are priced in ringgit so last time they can collect RM3.8 to pay for USD1 of jet fuel and now they have to collect RM4.8 to pay for USD1 of jet fuel and that will reduce their capacity to serve their loans so the minister of economy must collect data and do simulation to see the falling effect of ringgit to the household sectors as they are highly exposed to loans and may cause systematic risk to banking sectors just like last time 97 Asian Crisis was caused by the nonperforming corporate loans.
I'd be surprised if they propose any dividend at all much less a special one. Of course I'd be happy if they do as their policy dictates. We shall see in due time.
Defense Minister is asking for a higher price from Sarawak of RM2.60 per share or else there's no approval. Those LTAT people who negotiated a price of RM2.40 have since resigned.
Learn from what's happening to Ambank now. Affin's market price will align to the price LTAT will sell to Sarawak. Based on leaked documents the price was agreed as 2.40 back in December but new Defence Minister isn't happy with such low price. Possibly now is either Sarawak pays 2.60 or the deal is not going to be approved.

Sarawak obviously want to control Affin but it's not certain yet whether Sarawak will emerge as largest single shareholder. The percentage to be sold may be less than the speculated 25%.
Industry sources told StarBiz the demand for sale of AmBank’s shares have been overwhelming as the upsize portion of the shares (7.5%) have been fully sold in view of the quality of the bank and its good potential going forward.
“Around 80% to 85% of the buyers are Malaysian “long only funds” like institutions like pension funds, insurance companies etc. The remaining are primarily Asian funds, followed by funds from Europe and the United States,” the source added.
sarawak buy affin below 5% .. in talk to buy AFFIN all biggest controlling stakes .... but important malaysia all ARMY money in AFFIN ...CENTRAL GOVT call LTAT DON'T SELL to BORNEO
for anyone to buy more than 5% of Ambank need BNM approval. so as want Contarian said and reported by Star its bought by public institutions. no one will emerge as substantial shareholder with more than 5%. that's why ANZ can't sell Ambank to Swak coz the process will require BNM. ANZ sell in market to institution is faster.
Last Tuesday, Khaled told the Dewan Rakyat that he personally did not have any issues with the restructuring plan of LTAT. However, the minister made it clear that specific proposals involving the restructuring of the business model and management of shareholdings, including the sale of assets and disposal of shares in several strategic companies, needed careful consideration.
“We are seeking a win-win situation, where the LTAT strategic plan will not adversely affect the companies, and the shareholdings of LTAT in its subsidiaries can be maintained at a level that allows it to retain control,” Khaled was quoted by the media as saying.
