Malaysian banks recorded a 6.8% year-on-year growth in earnings in 2018.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian banks recorded a 6.8% year-on-year growth in earnings in 2018, which was within expectations, says Ambank Research.

“The sector’s loan growth in 2019 is expected to be 4.0–5.0% lower than in 2018. This will be in line with the projected moderation in domestic economic growth to 4.5%. Although current account savings account growth for the sector remained slow, some banks have yet to raise their base rates for the increase in cost of funds. Ambank sees this as an avenue for banks to mitigate the pressure on their funding cost.
