Bank Muamalat Malaysia BHD

Future plans and prospects

 BM decided on niche strategy focusing on two growth sectors of:


1. Retail and consumer financing
2. Islamic capital market
 It aimed to build up its portfolio in retail and consumer financing to 55% in 2004 and
60% by 2005.
 This would call for restoring of branches and its head office into specialized units
backed up by a strong information technology infrastructure.
 Bank also targeted more than RM50 million a year from investment banking
operations from 2005 onwards
 BM hopes to increase its consumer financing to 1 billion from 750 million in 2003
 Bank has signed strategic alliance with MNI takaful to enable it to sell insurance
products at all of its branches and the 14 branches of MNI takaful.
 In the area of Islamic capital market bank planed to extend its involvement
 Bank planned to continue concentrating on its business financing activities and
advancement of the small and medium enterprises though training and advisory
services.
 BM is the second-mover in the islamic banking industry in Malaysia yet faces tough
times ahead.
 Along with its more profitable partner Bank Islam ,BM is faced with rising
competition in the form of competing against islamic banking subsidiaries of
commercial banks that can offer up to 49% to foreign investors.
 There is already 3 international groups granted licence by the Malaysian government
to operate Islamic banks in the country. Which are Kuwait finance house, Saudi
Arabia Al Rajhi banking and investment house and, group led by Qatar Islamic bank
 All these banks are fighting for space in the emerging Islamic banking industry, which
is currently worth 90 billion in assets, or 10% of total banking assets in Malaysia.
 Those banks with foreign investors will be able to improve their capital strength
 Bank islam and bank muamalat will be pipsqueaks compared with the rest says
Rohani chief executive of hijrah strategic advisory group an Islamic banking
consultancy.
 Thought the chances look stacked against BI and BM currently BI and BM holds
cards in their favour. Both banks have been in local market for a lot longer time than
their competitors. They have their advantages notes David Vicary of Deloitte touché
consulting group. They have been established longer they have built up their customer
base and the product to suit those customers.
 Rohani says these banks strength lies in retail sector offering products like housing
loans and credit cards. these banks could court their own foreign investors thought
any foreign equity stake will be capped at 30% -the limit imposed on foreign
ownership of Malaysian banks in general.
 Industrial observers are also looking at foreign plaers to bring in a whole lot more
than just financial capital. Building intellectual capital is the biggest challenge in the
industry. This drive to put Malaysia in the leadership position is a good motivation
