SYDNEY: Asian shares jumped to five month highs on Thursday amid optimism the U.S. tightening cycle was over and the economy was heading for a soft landing, boosting the outlook for global growth and risk appetite generally.

Investors are now waiting for European Central Bank later in the day, which is also seen approaching the end of its tightening campaign, and the Bank of Japan on Friday, which is expected to maintain the ultra loose monetary policy.

The upbeat mood is set to extend to Europe, with EUROSTOXX 50 futures up 0.4% and FTSE futures rising 0.3%.

Nasdaq futures advanced 0.6%, helped by a 6.8% jump in Meta Platforms in after-hours trading. Facebook's parent company reported a strong rise in advertising revenue, topping Wall Street targets.

In Asia, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 1% to the highest in five months. Japan's Nikkei also advanced 0.7% to a three-week top.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rallied 1.4%, driven by a 4.9% surge in Chinese property stocks, as they extend a rebound from Monday when a top Politburo meeting fuelled hopes that more support to a battered sector is on the way.

Overnight, the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a quarter-point rate hike as widely expected. Chair Jerome Powell in his press conference said the Fed no longer expects a recession.

"Even though the Fed has left the door open for an additional rate hike before the end of the year, we believe that we've now reached peak cycle - the Fed tightening cycle is done," said David Chao, a global market strategist at Invesco.

"We expect an increasing global risk appetite as markets continue to positively re-price recession risks, and ultimately look forward to and discount an economic recovery that could begin to unfold late this year."

Futures only imply a slim chance - about 20% - that the central bank could surprise with a quarter-point increase in September. They also moved to price in sizeable rate cuts of 125 basis points by the end of next year.

On Wall Street, stocks ended little changed after the Fed hike, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq closing lower, dragged down by mostly technology stocks.

The European Central Bank is widely expected to raise interest rates by a quarter-point on Thursday, but markets sense the end is also in sight, with at most one more hike expected after this week. However, the slow retreat in inflation could pile pressure on policymakers to keep rates higher and for longer.

Another major risk event this week is the Bank of Japan meeting on Friday amid jitters of more tweaks to its ultra loose monetary policy. The majority view is policymakers would hold steady, according to a Reuters poll.

The yen climbed to as high as 139.35 per dollar but last hovered near the 140 level. Overnight dollar/yen implied volatility jumped to 36.3%, the highest since March.

The U.S. dollar continued to be pressured in Asia, off 0.3% against a basket of major currencies. Both the risk-sensitive Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar were up 0.8%.

Treasury yields were mostly steady on Thursday. The yield on 10-year Treasury notes held at 3.8610%, after a drop of 6 basis points overnight, while the rate-sensitive two-year was little changed at 4.8329%, having also eased 7 bps.

Elsewhere, oil prices were higher. Brent crude futures were up 0.9% at $83.69 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 1% to $79.59.

Gold prices edged up 0.2% to $1,976.18 per ounce. - Reuters

MALAYSIA menyasarkan untuk berada dalam senarai 30 ekonomi terbesar dunia dalam jangka masa sederhana yang mahu dicapai sebelum 10 tahun, kata Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Ia adalah antara tujuh penanda aras sebagai sasaran jangka sederhana yang mahu dicapai dalam penstrukturan semula ekonomi negara menerusi kerangka Ekonomi Madani: Memperkasa Rakyat yang dilancarkan semalam.

Selain sasaran itu, kerangka ekonomi berkenaan turut menetapkan Indeks Daya Saing Global di tangga ke-12 teratas dunia; peratusan pendapatan buruh mencapai 45 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan pendapatan; kadar penyertaan wanita dalam tenaga buruh mencapai 60 peratus; Indeks Pembangunan Manusia di tangga 25 teratas dunia.; Indeks Persepsi Rasuah di tangga 25 teratas dunia dan kemampanan fiskal dengan defisit fiskal mencapai tiga peratus atau lebih rendah.

Perdana Menteri yakin Malaysia mampu mencapai sasaran besar itu dengan meneladani negara yang pernah berdepan kejatuhan, namun tangkas dan bangkit semula ke hadapan.

"Mahu tidak mahu, kita mesti menjadi jaguh ekonomi serantau. Kita perlu punyai minda global dan mengutama pengantarabangsaan ekonomi.

"Dengan demikian, kita mampu mencapai sasaran yang ditetapkan untuk muncul sebagai 30 ekonomi terbesar di dunia dalam jangka masa sederhana.

"Jika kita hanya berpuas hati dengan keadaan sekarang, ekonomi akan terus mencatat pertumbuhan antara empat hingga lim peratus, namun jika kita berusaha gigih dan melaksana pembaharuan, kita mampu mencapai 5.5 peratus, malah saya percaya adalah tidak mustahil untuk kita menghasilkan pertumbuhan enam peratus," katanya ketika berucap dalam Majlis Peluncuran Ekonomi Madani: Memperkasa Rakyat di sini, semalam.

Hadir sama, Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi; Timbalan Menteri Kewangan I, Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan; Ketua Setiausaha Negara, Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali dan barisan menteri yang lain.

Mengulas lanjut Anwar berkata, untuk merealisasikan sasaran besar berkenaan, negara perlu membentuk integrasi ekonomi yang lebih besar dengan negara jiran lebih-lebih lagi dunia sedang berdepan dengan kekangan rantaian bekalan.

Katanya, kita perlu melahirkan lebih banyak syarikat tempatan yang berdaya saing tinggi untuk menembusi pasaran rantau Asean.

"Usaha kita sekarang perlu melangkaui perjanjian perdagangan bebas. Misalnya melalui diplomasi perdagangan dan pengaturan strategik yang boleh mengembangkan integrasi pasaran bilateral dan multilateral serta memudahkan pergerakan barang, modal, modal insan dan perkongsian teknologi dengan negara jiran.

"Selama ini, kita tertumpu kepada aktiviti sektor utama seperti elektrikal dan elektronik (E&E) dan kimia secara keseluruhan. Melangkah ke depan, misi baharu perindustrian di bawah Pelan Induk Perindustrian Baharu 2030 (NIMP) akan menumpukan aktiviti dengan nilai tambah tinggi atau kecanggihan ekonomi.

"Misalnya, kluster di Pulau Pinang perlu menumpukan kepada aktiviti E&E bernilai tinggi seperti Integrated Circuit (IC) design. Sektor kimia pula, perusahaan petrokimia serta oleokimia perlu memberi tumpuan kepada aktiviti pembuatan kimia khusus.

"Kerajaan akan memperkenalkan insentif cukai berasaskan pencapaian bagi mendukung dan memberi ganjaran kepada syarikat yang menumpukan aktiviti berdampak tinggi," katanya.

Perdana Menteri menambah, Ekonomi Madani: Memperkasa Rakyat juga akan menjadi induk kepada beberapa lagi dasar khusus yang akan diumumkan kelak antaranya Pelan Hala Tuju Peralihan Tenaga Nasional, Pelan Induk Perindustrian Baharu 2030 dan Kajian Separuh Penggal Rancangan Malaysia Ke-12.

Beliau berkata, Ekonomi Madani menetapkan sasaran jangka pendek yang sudahpun digerakkan bagi menangani isu segera yang mengesankan rakyat.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government will pump in more than RM5 billion to kick off its Madani Economy Framework to enhance the economy and improve national competitiveness.

The framework has lofty ambitions of positioning Malaysia as one of the top 30 major economies around the globe within 10 years.

Others benchmarks include placing the country in the top 12 of the Global Competitiveness Index, increasing participation among women in the country's workforce to 60 per cent, placing the country in the top 25 nations in the world in the Corruption Perception Index, boosting the nation's fiscal strength with fiscal deficit of three per cent or lower and positioning Malaysia in the top 25 of the Human Development Index.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the framework aims at restructuring the economy to make Malaysia as Asia's leading economy, which in return would benefit the people.

Among the major assistance provided is the allocation of RM1 billion to payout RM100 e-cash to about 10 milliion Malaysians who earn and annual income of RM100,000 and lower.

Anwar said the government alongside government-linked investment companies will invest an additional RM1 billion in efforts to support the growth of start ups and technopreneurs in the country. The government will ensure funds are allocated for every phase in these companies, said the prime minister. The water issue in Kelantan and Sabah will be addressed via short term solutions that would incur the government an additional RM800 million.

Anwar said some parts of the states do not have access to consistent and quality water supply. "Besides that, the government will expedite the development of flood mitigation projects in Kelantan, Pahang, Selangor and Johor to protect the communities from flood disaster.

"The government is committed in ensuring everyone has access to basic infrastructure such as water or electricity and those in rural areas deserve world-class services," he said.

The prime minister noted as at 2022, 97 per cent of Malaysians have access to treated water supply. Furthermore, the government announced an additional allocation of RM400 million for micro financing under SME Corporation Malaysia, National Entrepreneurial Group Economic Fund's (Tekun), Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) and Bumiputera Agenda Steering Unit (Teraju). This fund is aimed at providing entreprenuerial opportunities, trainings and financing for the marginal groups including women and youth. Another new major funding assistance announced under Madani Economy Framework was financing worth RM200 million under Agrobank to facilitate the application of technology in farming. The prime minister added the country could record a six per cent growth if everyone "initiates change". "If we are complacent with the current condition, the economy will only chart growth between four and five per cent. "However if we work hard and embrace change, we could reach 5.5 per cent and in fact I belueve it is not impossible for us to grow six per cent," he said.

Anwar noted that Malaysia needs to emulate other countries that have succesfully rebuilt their economies after a slump.

"Malaysia needs to learn from countries that had previously fall behind but was quick to rebound and move forward. "We need to be the leader in regional economy," he added.

KUALA LUMPUR: Maybank Investment Bank Bhd has praised the Madani Economy's focus on pressing issues such as governance, education, and corruption.

Its head of equity research, Anand Pathmakanthan said that the Madani Economy concept does not just talk about growth, but it also emphasises income distribution.

"By having a more equitable income distribution for workers and wages, in particular, is beneficial to everyone.

"That is what a healthy economy is based on because then you have a much more consumption-driven economy," he said during the second half of 2023 (2H2023) retail equity market outlook webinar on Saturday.

Pathmakanthan also said that countries like Indonesia and the Philippines are attractive to foreign investors because these countries have big internal consumption.

"We can generate that consumption story in Malaysia if there is a more equal distribution of returns between capital and labour.

"I think the government has got that right in terms of focusing on fixing that," he said.

With the operationalisation of the framework, hopefully, we can reach that 5.5 to 6.0 per cent gross domestic product (GDP) target which the modality framework is targeting, Pathmakanthan added.

The perpaduan govt should push for reform like the Japanese govt.

Corporate reforms are quickly gaining traction. The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) has now joined the likes of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party in pushing for better corporate governance. In particular, the stock exchange is now pressuring companies with low PB ratios to more efficiently use capital or potentially be delisted. This has sparked a drastic shift in corporate behavior over the past few months as many companies have responded with buybacks and improvement measures.
We see the push by TSE for corporate reform as a reinforcement of policymakers’ long-term desire to encourage greater participation by local and foreign investors by boosting shareholder value. We expect corporate reform momentum to intensify moving forward, supporting the case for Japanese equities.

KUALA LUMPUR: CIMB Bank Bhd and CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd have launched its sustainable finance programme, known as sustainability-linked facilities (SLFs), with an of RM3 billion from 2023 through 2030 in a move to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in their sustainability journey.

The programme aims to address the challenges SMEs face in meeting global sustainability standards and accessing incentives typically reserved for larger corporations.

SLFs have gained popularity as a transition finance mechanism in recent years however, the implementation has yet to be improved by the bespoke and costly nature of verification requirements.

CIMB's SLF programme seeks to change that by providing SMEs with a holistic, cost-effective solution for measuring and verifying their sustainability targets.

CIMB group deputy chief executive officer, group commercial banking Ahmad Shazli Kamarulzaman said this opens up access to traditionally available incentives to larger corporates.

One key advantage of the CIMB SLF programme is its alignment with the loan market association's sustainability-linked loan principles, a globally recognised standard.

"This ensures that the programme adheres to high standards of sustainability and credibility," he said in a statement today.

Beyond reducing negative environmental impacts, the sustainable finance programme strives to enhance SMEs' business resilience and enable continued access to export markets.

By improving their sustainability performance, SMEs can adapt to rapid market and regulatory developments, such as the EU carbon border adjustment mechanism, upcoming local regulations, and the global economy's transition towards sustainable supply chains.

CIMB's dedication to advancing sustainability aspirations for businesses is evident in the success of its SLF for corporate clients, launched in 2020.

The SLF for corporate clients saw remarkable growth in interest and acceptance, with its value increasing by more than threefold in 2022, reaching RM1.2 billion, compared to RM367 million in 2021.

With the introduction of the SLF programme for SMEs, CIMB aims to empower a broader spectrum of businesses to embrace sustainability, enabling them to thrive in a changing market landscape and contribute positively to the environment and society.

MIDF Research noted that there was a divergence in net change to forward earnings between heavyweights and lesser-cap stocks.

PETALING JAYA: Corporate earnings are set to continue recovering and registering further growth in the second half of 2023 (2H23), backed by positive economic print projected for the period.

At the same time, the country’s economy is set to retain its growth trajectory for the rest of the year with continuous support from strong households and intact fundamentals, despite various external variables influencing growth in 1H23.

Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng said earnings growth for 1H23 is estimated to be around 6% to 7%, while 2H23 may see an 11% to 12% growth track.

“Last year, earnings declined by 10% and this year we expect it to grow within 9.3% to 9.5%.

“More companies are likely to write back provisions in 2H23, and fundamentally, things are getting better with more active economic activities happening in the country,” he told Bernama.Nevertheless, Thong said growth will vary according to sectors.

“We saw decent growth in 1H23 and blue chips were doing well during the period.

“A few sectors will do well in 2H23, namely, oil and gas, construction, plantations, banking and real estate investment trusts,” he added.

Meanwhile, in its review of the first quarter of 2023 (1Q23), MIDF Research noted that there was a divergence in net change to forward earnings between heavyweights and lesser-cap stocks.

“The divergence in the net change to aggregate forward earnings favouring non-heavyweight stocks was also duly reflected in their relative price performance thus far this year,” it said.

As of end-May 2023, the year-to-date (y-t-d) price return of the FBM KLCI stood at minus 7.2%. In contrast, the mid-cap FBM70 index registered a y-t-d return of 4.9%.

In 1Q23, the aggregate reported earnings of FBM KLCI 30 current constituents came in at RM15.8bil, declining sequentially at minus 34.7% quarter-on-quarter, but improved against 1Q22 at 3% year-on-year.

MIDF Research said the heavyweights were bogged down mainly by the price underperformance of financial services counters, which was impacted by banking turmoil in the United States and Europe, as well as commodity-related industrial products and services and plantation stocks amid lower commodity product prices.

“Nonetheless, going forward, we do not expect the underperformance of these heavyweight stocks to persist, as, firstly, the banking turmoil in the United States and Europe is a consequence of the rapid rise in interest rates during the past year.

“Secondly, we reckon the softening commodity price trend is presaging a slowdown in economic activities, which is also arguably a consequence of the rapid rise in interest rates during the past year.

“Likewise, we can expect to see some improvement in both the valuation and earnings expectation of commodity-related stocks post-US Federal Reserve pause (in rate hikes),” it said. — Bernama

Many potential buyers for picorp in Indonesia .

Example:


Incitec Pivot has arranged site trips and due diligence for Pupuk Kaltim in recent days, AFR reported. — Reuters

BENGALURU: Incitec Pivot has tapped Indonesia’s Pupuk Kaltim as the preferred buyer of its Australian fertiliser business in a deal that could be worth about A$1.5bil (US$989mil or RM4.46bil), according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR).

The company has arranged site trips and due diligence for Pupuk Kaltim in recent days, the newspaper reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Incitec Pivot said in mid-July that it had received several approaches for the fertiliser business, and that an assessment of a potential sale was being considered.

Investors have pushed back in recent past against its plan to demerge its explosives manufacturing business Dyno Nobel through a separate listing to accelerate growth in the explosives and fertiliser segment.

Pupuk Kaltim is an Indonesian state-owned enterprise, which specialises in urea and ammonia production.

Both Incitec Pivot and Pupuk Kaltim did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. — Reuters

The Code on Take-overs and Mergers 1998 was the first codified law on takeover and merger in Malaysia. The 1998 Code was heavily influenced by the English takeover law. Due to the tremendous development on takeovers and mergers exercise, the 1998 Code was revised and later replaced by the Malaysian Code on Take-overs and Mergers 2010, deriving its power from section 217 of the Capital Market and Services Act 2007 (CMSA). The key objectives of the Code are to strengthen investor protection, institute higher standards of governance in takeovers and mergers activities, enhance transparency and improve efficiency. Takeovers and mergers in Malaysia have largely been friendly in nature. Takeover offer is widely defined and it covers scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction, amalgamation and consolidation. The current Code thus provides a wider range of protection for shareholders as compared to the previous Code. Malaysia has opted for mandatory offer. The rationale for mandatory offer is to ensure that all shareholders are given the opportunity to sell their investment in the target company and they all get the opportunity to do so at the same price. The Code also provides for certain exemptions from a mandatory offer. The exemptions resemble those which are provided in the City Code of Takeovers and Mergers (UK); there are however certain exemptions which are unique to Malaysia. Malaysia also allows a bidder the right to compulsorily acquire the shares of dissenting shareholders of the target after fulfilling certain conditions as provided in the CMSA. The law also imposes upon the directors of the target the duty to act in good faith when making recommendations with respect to any takeover. The directors are also required to appoint an independent adviser to advise the shareholders of the target on whether the takeover offer is fair and reasonable. The terms "fair" and "reasonable" are not treated as a composite term. This approach has been criticized by a number of parties. The board of the target is not allowed to frustrate a takeover offer; the Code makes it clear that the shareholders of the target must be given the opportunity to decide on the merits of a takeover offer. The Securities Commission plays an important role in overseeing takeovers and mergers activities. The Commission is conferred with the power to approve offers and other documents issued in connection of takeovers, issue rulings and grant exemptions from a mandatory offer. Parties involved in takeovers and mergers must comply with the law. The sanctions for a breach of the Code involve not only criminal and civil actions but also administrative sanctions. The Commission has come up with guidelines, practice notes and from time to time, consultation papers, in order to provide better law for governing takeovers and mergers.

Controlling shareholders must not oppress or unfairly discriminate against minority shareholders
of a company. Under Section 181 of the Companies Act (Section 346 under the New CA), the
courts have the power to make an order to, amongst others, prohibit any oppressive or
discriminatory act, or even regulate the conduct of the affairs of the company in the future.
Hence, if controlling shareholders pass resolutions which are oppressive against minority
shareholders, or disregard minorities' interests, Section 181 of the Companies Act can be
invoked (Re Kong Thai Sawmill (Miri) Sdn Bhd; Kong Thai Sawmill (Miri) Sdn Bhd & Ors v Ling
Beng Sung [1978] 2 MLJ 22). The Federal Court held that damages can be awarded in cases
where minority oppression has been established (Koh Jui Hiong @ Ko Jui Heong & Ors v Ki Tak
Sang @ Kee Tak Sang and another appeal [2014] 3 MLJ 10).
For public listed companies, the Code contains principles and rules governing the conduct of all
persons or parties involved in a take-over offer, merger or compulsory acquisition, including an
acquirer, offeror, offeree and their officers and associates. The basic policy underlying the Code
sets out general principles which are to be observed and complied with by all persons engaged
in any take-over or merger transaction. Some of the general principles central to this Chapter
are:
(a) the fair and equal treatment to all shareholders of an offeree of the same class, and
equal opportunities of participation in benefits accruing from take-over offers, including
in the premium payable for control;

(b) all shareholders, in particular, minority shareholders, shall not be subject to oppression
or disadvantage by the treatment and conduct of the acquirer or offeror, as the case

More chances for picorp.


International Trade and Industry Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is on the right track to realise the country’s efforts in attracting more high-impact investments which ultimately would elevate its economy to a higher level.

Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz said he is confident that the available incentives and focus on key sectors are able to drive employment, household income and economic sustainability.

Five key target sectors that are given emphasis are aerospace, chemicals/petrochemicals, digital economy, electrical and electronics, and pharmaceuticals

He also said Malaysia has always maintained good diplomatic relationships with its major trading partners and main sources of foreign direct investment (FDI), subsequently ensuring that investors continue to express confidence in investing in the country.

He cited an example relating to the latest announcement of an additional investment of up to €5 billion (€1 =RM4.99) by Infineon Technologies AG which reflected investors’ confidence in the Madani Economy concept.

Infineon Technologies yesterday announced the expansion of its Kulim facility to build the world’s largest 200-millimetre silicon carbide (SiC) power fabrication plant, with an additional investment of up to €5 billion over the next five years.

According to the company, the investment will potentially contribute an annual SiC revenue of about €7 billion by the end of the decade, together with the 200-millimetre SiC conversion in Villach, Austria and Kulim, Kedah.

"If at the government-to-government level is good, doesn’t matter, domestic or international investors will have confidence in the country’s ability,” he said when appearing as a guest on the Selamat Pagi Malaysia programme on Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) today.

On the back of the confidence, Tengku Zafrul said the country has also seen a recovery in the ringgit’s performance.

"We can see that local and international companies are investing more and, at the same time, what’s important is that we can see the economic fundamentals are strengthening in terms of employment as well as lower unemployment and inflation.

"It’s all about confidence, actually, I believe we can achieve the gross domestic product target of 4.0-5.0 per cent this year and this would strengthen the ringgit further,” he said.

Nevertheless, he also stressed on the importance of local players to complete the nation’s ecosystem through domestic direct investment (DDI) to support the need of foreign investors.

"FDI will not flow into Malaysia if local companies fail to provide supplies, for example, sufficient raw materials and services as well as the required talent,” he said.

Hence, through the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 (NIMP2030), which is expected to be launched later this month, will spearhead the resilience of small and medium enterprises, among others, via automation and innovation.

He added that NIMP2030 is a comprehensive policy framework with clear strategies in the transformation of Malaysia’s industrial sector and a special task force, to be headed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, will be established to focus on its implementation and success. - Bernama

Securities Commission Malaysia chairman Datuk Seri Dr Awang Adek Hussin

KUALA LUMPUR: Creating greater market vibrancy and intensifying efforts to leverage the sustainability agenda, as well as Malaysia’s leadership in the Islamic Capital Market were among the key topics discussed at the Securities Commission (SC) Industry Dialogue 2023 (SCID 2023) last week.

The annual industry dialogue was held to discuss and deliberate on key areas to further develop and grow the capital market, following the launch of the Madani Economy by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on July 27.

The SCID 2023 saw 60 capital market industry leaders and senior representatives sharing ideas and proposals as well as highlighting issues and challenges under three broad areas, namely, investment opportunities, funding inclusivity and market reforms in the capital market.

"By continuing to collaborate with various stakeholders, the SC can leverage their expertise to drive the required reforms and improvements towards strengthening the Malaysian capital market’s vibrancy, inclusivity and competitiveness,” SC chairman Datuk Seri Dr Awang Adek Hussin said in a statement today.

Participants also discussed the recent capital market measures announced by the prime minister, namely, reducing the current board lot size for trading on Bursa Malaysia to a more affordable level and enabling fractional share trading by investors through stockbrokers.

They also discussed enabling automatic transfer for companies listed on the ACE Market to the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, subject to meeting certain criteria.

Awang Adek said Bursa Malaysia is looking into reducing the board lot for trading from 100 units to an appropriate level, taking into account the need for the most effective implementation approach, with brokers agreeing to review the current minimum commission to allow for the lowering of board lot size.

He noted that these measures will provide greater stock market accessibility to a wider group of investors, especially retail and younger investors.

"This will also increase trading and liquidity that would benefit both companies and investors and create a more active and dynamic market environment,” he said.

The SC has also agreed to provide securities brokers flexibility to offer fractional trading of shares listed on Bursa Malaysia to enhance retail investors’ access to the stock market.

However, they will need to adhere to a set of broad principles, such as price transparency, said Awang Adek.

Commenting on the automatic transfer of companies listed on the ACE Market to the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, he said the move would benefit qualified ACE Market companies by providing them with greater visibility and access to a larger pool of investors.

Additionally, the increased number of listed companies with large market capitalisation on the Main Market will offer investors -- particularly large as well as foreign investors -- a diverse range of investment opportunities in the Malaysian capital market.

He said the criteria and process are currently being reviewed and discussed together with Bursa Malaysia, and further announcements will be made when the framework is finalised. - Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Indonesia, the world's largest palm oil producers, have agreed with the European Union to promote mutual understanding and address concerns over EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and benchmarking.

This is being undertaken through an ad hoc joint task force (JTF) co-chaired by the three parties.

The JTF had its first meeting in Jakarta on Saturday, with the three parties agreeing to the terms of reference for the task force's work.

The terms of reference include issues such as the inclusivity of smallholders in the supply chain, national certification schemes (land legality and cut-off date for deforestation), traceability from producer to end-consumer, scientific data on deforestation and forest degradation, and protection of data.

JTF, in a statement, said it will establish a dialogue and relevant workstreams, led by the respective governments, to build mutual understanding on the implementation of the regulation and its core aspects, including benchmarking.

The meeting was co-chaired by Dr. Musdhalifah Machmud, Deputy Minister for Food and Agribusiness of Indonesia, Datuk Mad Zaidi Mohd Karli, secretary general Plantation and Commodities Ministry and Astrid Schomaker, director for green diplomacy and multilateralism of the European Commission.

The meeting was held following a joint mission carried out by Indonesia and Malaysia to Brussels on May 30-31 this year and the follow-up visit of the EC to Indonesia and Malaysia on June 26-28.

Following the meeting in Brussels, the three parties agreed to identify practical solutions and approaches relevant to the implementation of the EUDR.

"JTF is a platform to serve as a consultative mechanism to support coordination and promotion of mutual understanding between Indonesia, Malaysia, and the European Union," it said.

Musdhalifah affirmed that the meeting was held to reach a common understanding, while Mad Zaidi stressed that cooperation is the way forward and solutions can be inspired by best practices across sectors.

Schomaker, meanwhile, expressed acknowledgement on the progress made by Indonesia and Malaysia on reducing deforestation and welcomed sharing information and further clarification of the regulation.

The JTF will conclude its work by the end of 2024, with the possibility to be extended upon mutual agreement.

The meeting also shared information on the implementation of Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil and Malaysia Sustainable Palm Oil as well as the available traceability tools.

The next meeting is tentatively scheduled to take place at the end of November.

Aug 7: A global failure to curb carbon emissions will lead to rising debt-servicing costs for 59 nations within the next decade, according to a study that simulated the economic impact of climate change on current sovereign credit ratings.

Among them, China, India, the United States and Canada could expect higher costs as their credit scores fall by two notches under a "climate-adjusted" ratings system, the study published in the Management Science journal on Monday found.

"Our results support the idea that deferring green investments will increase costs of borrowing for nations, which will translate into higher costs of corporate debt," researcher Patrycja Klusak said of the study led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the University of Cambridge.

Rising debt costs would be just one extra facet of the overall economic damage which climate change is already causing. Insurance giant Allianz estimates that recent heatwaves will already have shaved 0.6% points off global output this year.

While ratings agencies acknowledge the vulnerability of economies to climate change, they have so far been cautious in quantifying those risks in their ratings exercises because of uncertainties about the likely extent of the damage.

The UEA/Cambridge study trained artificial intelligence models on S&P Global's existing ratings and then combined that with climate economic models and S&P's own natural disaster risk assessments to create new ratings for various climate scenarios.

A downgrade to 59 sovereigns emerged from a so-called RCP 8.5 scenario of emissions that keep rising. By comparison, 48 sovereigns experienced downgrades between January 2020 and February 2021 during the turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic.

If the planet manages to stick to the goal of the Paris Climate Agreement, with temperatures held under a two-degree rise, sovereign credit ratings would under the simulation see no impact in the short-term and only limited long-term effects.

A worst-case scenario of high emissions through to the end of the century would on the other hand result in higher global debt-servicing costs, rising up to the hundreds of billions of dollars in current money, the model found.

While developing nations with lower credit scores are seen hit hardest by the physical effects of climate change, nations with the highest ranking credit scores were likely to face more severe downgrades simply because they have furthest to fall.

"There are no winners," Klusak said in an interview.

The findings come as regulators around the world seek to better understand just how much damage to economies and the global financial system to expect from climate change. A European Central Bank paper last year urged greater clarity in how those risks were being built into credit ratings.

S&P Global Ratings has published the environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles used in its credit ratings which include reference to the risk of economic damage from climate change and the costs associated with mitigating it. It declined to comment on the UEA/Cambridge study.

Fitch Ratings pointed to its system of "ESG Relevance Scores" as including factors such as exposure to environment impacts as one component in its assessments.

"These are longstanding and increasingly important rating factors which we continue to weigh in our analysis and publish frequent research and commentary upon," it said in response to a request for comment.

UPDATE 1-Indonesia Q2 GDP growth highest in three quarters

JAKARTA: Indonesia's economic growth in the second quarter accelerated unexpectedly and came in above market predictions, despite its exports weakening amid falling commodity prices.

Southeast Asia's biggest economy expanded 5.17% in the April-June quarter from the same period a year earlier, faster than the 4.93% growth expected by economists polled by Reuters and the highest growth rate in three quarters. First-quarter growth was revised up slightly to 5.04%.

On a quarterly, non-seasonally adjusted basis, GDP expanded 3.86%, compared with the poll's prediction of 3.72% growth.

Indonesia's post-pandemic recovery received a boost from a commodities-led export boom last year, but analysts expect momentum to cool as prices of its top products, like palm oil and coal, fall and global demand weakens amid interest rate hikes in many countries.

Indonesia's own monetary tightening of 225 basis points from August 2022 to January 2023, was also seen hurting domestic demand.

Aiding GDP growth in the second quarter was household spending for the Muslim fasting month and Eid al-Fitr festivities, which fell in late April, analysts said.

Last year's growth was 5.3%, a nine-year high. The government targets the same growth rate for 2023. The central bank predicts GDP will expand in a range of 4.5% to 5.3% this year. (Reporting by Stefanno Sulaiman, Fransiska Nangoy and Gayatri Suroyo; Editing by Martin Petty)

Bagus!

Progressive Impact Corporation Berhad, like many other companies, experienced a rebound in its performance following the COVID-19 pandemic. The rebound can be attributed to several factors:

1. Economic recovery: As the global economy started to recover from the effects of the pandemic, there was an increase in demand for goods and services. This resulted in a positive impact on Progressive Impact Corporation Berhad's business operations.

2. Government support: Many governments around the world introduced economic stimulus packages to support businesses during the pandemic. These measures helped sustain the company's operations and provided a bridge for recovery.

3. Shift in consumer behavior: The pandemic forced individuals and businesses to adapt and change their behavior. This led to an increased demand for certain industries, such as e-commerce, healthcare, and technology. If Progressive Impact Corporation Berhad operates in these sectors, it likely experienced a rebound in its business.

4. Strategic adaptation: Progressive Impact Corporation Berhad might have implemented strategic changes to its business model, operations, or offerings.
