Treasury sec-gen: Govt to monitor potential impact from ongoing geopolitical tensions
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is closely monitoring the ongoing geopolitical situation and its potential impact on the Malaysian economy, particularly in the wake of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) expansion. Treasury secretary-general Datuk Johan Mahmood Merican said the high level of uncertainty due to geopolitical developments in the Middle East may lead to premature conclusions on how it might influence inflation and the cost of living domestically. "I do recall back when we had the Ukraine war, there was just so much uncertainty. We don't know to what extent the situation may escalate and how that might impact the economy. "Initially, we had thought that the Russia-Ukraine war would not affect us much because we do not have much trade with either country. We were quite wrong. "It turned out that Ukraine was the major supplier of feed. Therefore, we suddenly saw an increase in agricultural inputs, which impacted prices," he said at the Concorde Club session. Johan said, given the ongoing conflict is in the Middle East, there will be some impact on oil prices, one of the key factors in Malaysia's inflation outlook. He said oil prices have been fluctuating significantly, having started the year in the mid-US$70 range, dipped to the low US$60s last month and recently climbed again amid regional instability. "But at least, year-to-date, inflation has remained below two per cent thus far. We saw a Maybank estimate of an impact of 0.25 per cent on the consumer price index (CPI) as a result of SST. "Our internal estimates are in that order of magnitude as well. But if the situation escalates, we certainly need to see how that impacts in terms of economic growth," he said. For now, Johan said the ministry will continue to monitor developments and adjust its economic strategies as needed to maintain price stability and protect Malaysians from sudden cost-of-living pressures. The expanded SST to improve national fiscal stability without overburdening the public is set to take effect from July 1. The government expects additional SST to increase by RM5 billion in 2025 and by RM10 billion in 2026 following the review and expansion of the tax scope. On RON95, Johan said the government remains committed to rationalising fuel subsidies through a targeted approach, with the implementation of RON95 petrol subsidy reforms anticipated in the second half of 2025. "The exact timing and structure are still subject to cabinet decision," he said. He said the move mirrors earlier reforms undertaken for electricity tariffs and diesel subsidies, which introduced tiered pricing mechanisms to protect lower and middle-income groups while curbing leakages.

World Bank urges ‘radical' debt transparency for developing countries
The World Bank and other multilateral banks have been pressing for years to improve lending transparency. (Reuters pic) LONDON : The World Bank is urging 'radical' debt transparency for developing countries and their lenders to stave off future crises, it said in a report released today. The bank wants to broaden the depth and detail of what sovereign countries disclose regarding new loans, as more of them enter complex, off-budget borrowing deals due to global market turmoil. 'When hidden debt surfaces, financing dries up and terms worsen,' World Bank senior managing director Axel van Trotsenburg said in a statement, adding 'Radical debt transparency, which makes timely and reliable information accessible, is fundamental to break the cycle'. The bank wants countries to make legal and regulatory reforms that mandate transparency when signing new loan contracts and to share more granular debt data. It also wants more regular audits, the public release of debt restructuring terms, and for creditors to open their loan and guarantee books. It is calling for better tools for international financial institutions to detect misreporting. The World Bank and other multilateral banks have been pressing for years to improve lending transparency. The proportion of low-income countries reporting some debt data is now above 75%, up from below 60% in 2020. However, only 25% of them disclose loan-level information. As financing costs spike due to trade wars and geopolitical risk, more countries are using arrangements such as central bank swaps and collateralized transactions that complicate reporting. Senegal has used private debt placements as it negotiates with the International Monetary Fund over misreporting of its previous debts, and Cameroon and Gabon have also used what are known as 'off-screen' deals. Angola recently had to pay a US$200 million margin call after a rout in its bond prices. In Nigeria, the central bank disclosed in early 2023 that billions of US dollars of its foreign exchange reserves were tied up in complex financial contracts negotiated by the previous leadership. The World Bank said broader loan coverage and deeper loan-by-loan disclosures would enable the international community to fully assess public debt exposure.

Norway's PM says to meet 5% Nato goal on defence, security spending
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said the 3.5% spending includes financial support for Ukraine's military defence. (AFP pic) OSLO : Norway plans to raise its defence spending to 3.5% of the country's GDP, and also aims to use an additional 1.5% for broader security-related purposes, its prime minister said on Friday, in line with a planned common goal among Nato states. Nato chief Mark Rutte has proposed that member nations should agree at a June 24-25 meeting in The Hague to aim for spending of a total of 5% of their gross domestic product on defence and broader security measures. 'We must do more to secure our country and contribute to our common security with our allies in Nato,' prime minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told a press conference on Friday. The 3.5% spending includes Norway's financial support for Ukraine's military defence, he said. Norway in 2024 spent an estimated 2.2% of GDP on defence, up from a low of 1.4% in 2022, the national statistics agency (SSB) said in April, and the government said in May it aims to spend 3.3% in 2025.
