SINGAPORE, Jan 30 (Bloomberg): Global risk assets may be tumbling after the Federal Reserve’s hawkish pivot, but the modest reaction in Southeast Asian markets points to a pocket of resilience that offers opportunities to investors.

Banks, energy and stocks that can benefit from reopening economies look set to beat other sectors in such an environment. Financials and energy shares make up almost 40% of the region’s benchmark, with less than 2% in tech shares, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

"We certainly have been looking at Asia as a good place to be right now,” said Elisabeth Colleran, a portfolio manager for emerging market debt at Loomis Sayles & Co. "You are starting from a better cushion in Asia” in terms of higher spreads compared to US. peers too, she said. - Bloomberg

Any implication from troubles at Genting HK? As for any potential impact from the liquidation of Genting HK, we do not expect any major ramification given that there were no cross shareholdings except for Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay being a common shareholder.

Farid highlighted that Maybank has made a whopping non-performing loan provision of RM4.6 billion in 2020 which has also taken into account the likelihood of impairment this year.

“Most of it is done on the basis of macroeconomic variables to prepare Maybank for the eventual possibilities that there will be impairment come 2021.

Maybank added that it has a rigorous asset quality monitoring process, whereby vulnerable borrowers are identified and managed accordingly from the onset of any potential asset quality weakness.

"As such, loan provisioning will be proactively made from the beginning of any such asset quality weakness based on the borrower's risk rating with the bank. Therefore, Maybank would like to state that our current net credit charge of guidance for loan provisioning remains unchanged and we can confirm that our financial position remains strong," the bank's spokesperson added.

Rich investors will get richer...while poor jokers will remain poor...that's a fact.

@sifu tolle...now, 8.4+ doesn't look attractive to you..

...but if it trades higher, says 8.7+ ...then stabilize....and when it corrects to current price then you will think it's a bargain :p


....EPF also like that....they sell into strength...but when it goes higher then they will buy on correction, even it's still higher than their previous sell :)

@SSP888...haha :p

Oh yes, I was a little more conservative on the opening price, sifu tolle.

Good chance it might close around the opening level...let's hope.

PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Maybank Cambodia was named the “Best International Bank in Cambodia” by Asiamoney Best Bank Awards for the second consecutive year, acknowledging the bank’s role in adopting sustainability into its business and community initiatives, including efforts in accelerating financial inclusion across borders.

Last year, Maybank achieved a milestone as it was chosen as the first international bank in Cambodia to enter into a breakthrough initiative with the National Bank of Cambodia to launch the Maybank-Bakong cross border funds transfer.

This is a first-of-its-kind cross-border solution rolled out within and beyond Cambodia via innovative blockchain-based technology.

Cambodian citizens working or residing in Malaysia greatly benefit from this service as they are now able to transfer money to their Bakong e-wallets in Cambodia easily and cost effectively via Maybank’s MAE app in Malaysia.
