Financial Sector Assessment : MalaysiaMalaysia, as many of its Asian
 neighbors, experienced significant macro/financial distress
 in the late 1990s. The transformed and strengthened
 financial sector has been able to weather the recent global
 financial crisis well. Financial market intermediaries 
 reliance on cross-border and interbank funding remains
 limited. Banking institutions are well capitalized and are
 expected to be able to meet Basel three capital requirements
 comfortably by the 2019 implementation deadline. Asset
 quality has improved significantly over the last 5 years and
 banks are profitable, with low cost-to-income ratios
 compared to regional peers. The authorities have taken steps
 to monitor and mitigate the potential significant risks of
 recent rapid loan growth. The regulatory and supervisory
 regimes for banking, insurance and securities are well
 developed and exhibit a high degree of compliance with
 international standards. Government equity holdings in the
 financial sector, both direct and indirect, are extensive.
 Further development of the domestic Islamic financial system
 presents both opportunities and challenges.
