Economics: BNM announced further liberalisation of the foreign exchange administration rules with regards to direct investment abroad, inter-company loans and trade financing effective 1 June 2011. The measures are:
- Removal of the RM50m limit on investment in foreign currency assets by resident companies that meet the prudential requirements. The move basically frees up direct investment abroad (DIA) by Malaysian companies.
- Allowing resident companies to borrow any amount in Ringgit or foreign currency from their resident and non-resident non-bank related companies. This enables Malaysian companies to further enhance the efficient management of financial resources within a corporate group and provides greater flexibility on sources of competitive financing.
- Abolish the RM5m limit currently imposed on foreign currency trade financing obtained by residents from non-residents. In this regard, residents may obtain foreign currency borrowing, including foreign currency trade financing, up to the prevailing aggregate limit of RM100m for companies on a corporate group basis and RM10m for individuals.
