KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 (Bernama) -- Export-Import Bank of Malaysia Bhd (Exim Bank) targets to secure RM1 million in premium this year from its two newly launched credit takaful products, said managing director/CEO Datuk Adissadikin Ali.
"The demand for trade credit insurance among Malaysian exporters, including SMEs (small and medium enterprises) to protect from non-payment by overseas buyers has risen tremendously," he told reporters after the launch of the two takaful products by Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Dr Awang Adek Hussin here Friday.
The two products, Comprehensive Takaful Shipment and Specific Takaful, the first of its kind in Malaysia to help exporters, particularly the SMEs to hedge their risks in international trade.
Through these products, Malaysian exporters are shield from the risk of non-payment by overseas buyers, amid the bleak global economic scenario sparked by the eurozone sovereign debt crisis and weak economy in the United States.
The Comprehensive Takaful Shipment provides protection to Malaysian exporters and assures their future payments for export of goods or services, either from the overseas buyers or from Exim Bank by way of Takaful claims.

MIDF salur pinjaman RM365j
400 syarikat, perusahaan dijangka dapat manfaat pembiayaan 3 skim. MALAYSIAN
Industrial Development Finance Bhd (MIDF) mensasar menyalurkan
pembiayaan berjumlah RM365 juta tahun ini di bawah tiga skim pinjaman
mudah yang dikendalikannya.
Source From (Berita Harian): http://www.bharian.com.my/bharian/articles/MIDFsalurpinjamanRM365j/Article
2012/03/12
Skim itu ialah Skim Pinjaman Mudah Untuk Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana (SLSME), Skim Pinjaman Mudah Untuk Automasi dan Permodenan (SLSAM), serta Skim Pinjaman Mudah Untuk Automotif dan Pembangunan (SLSAD).
Pengarah Urusan Kumpulannya, Datuk Mohd Najib Abdullah, berkata pihaknya menjangkakan sekurang-kurangnya 400 syarikat dan perusahaan akan mendapat manfaat daripada pembiayaan itu.
“Daripada jumlah keseluruhan pembiayaan itu, kami bakal menyalurkan RM213 juta di bawah SLSME, RM60 juta di bawah SLSAM dan RM92 juta kepada SLSAD,” katanya kepada Berita Harian, baru-baru ini.
Beliau menambah, daripada 400 syarikat dan perusahaan yang disasarkan itu pula, 236 adalah bagi SLSME, SLSAD (100) SLSAM (64).
Tahun lalu, MIDF menyalurkan pembiayaan berjumlah RM273 juta di bawah tiga skim pinjaman mudah itu kepada 392 syarikat yang sebahagian besarnya diperuntukkan untuk SLSME dengan nilai keseluruhan RM179 juta membabitkan 359 syarikat.
Mengenai kriteria utama untuk pembiayaan itu, Mohd Najib berkata, setiap permohonan akan dinilai secara terperinci dari segi tahap daya maju perniagaan dan kebolehan menjana keuntungan atau aliran tunai yang sewajarnya untuk membayar balik pinjaman.
Katanya, MIDF juga melihat komitmen pinjaman syarikat terbabit dengan institusi kewangan lain, komitmen pemegang saham atau pengarah terhadap perniagaan dan komitmen lain yang berkaitan perniagaan syarikat sebelum meluluskan permohonan mereka.
“Sektor yang menjadi keutamaan sejak 50 tahun lalu adalah perkilangan atau pembuatan dengan 78 peratus usahawan dari sektor itu mendapat kemudahan pinjaman MIDF setakat ini,” katanya.
Mengenai kos pembiayaan skim berkenaan, beliau berkata, MIDF mengenakan kadar faedah pinjaman serendah empat peratus kepada syarikat atau perusahaan dalam kategori Perusahaan Kecil dan Sederhana (PKS) dan lima peratus bagi syarikat bukan PKS.
“Tempoh bayaran balik mengikut jenis pinjaman. Contohnya, bagi pembiayaan pembelian aset tetap seperti hartanah perindustrian atau komersil, tempoh yang dibenarkan sehingga 15 tahun. Bagi pembiayaan pembelian mesin, jentera dan peralatan pula, tempohnya adalah sehingga enam tahun,” katanya.
Sementara itu, Mohd Najib berkata, MIDF merancang memperkenalkan skim pinjaman khusus untuk pembiayaan pembelian hartanah komersial.
Menerusi produk itu, katanya, ia memberikan kelebihan kepada peminjam atau usahawan beroperasi di premis milik mereka dengan kos pembiayaan tetap tanpa perlu bimbang mengenai pergerakan Kadar Asas Pinjaman (BLR).
“Kelebihan utama program pembiayaan ini ialah proses kelulusan pinjaman dan pengeluaran wang akan dipercepatkan supaya syarikat atau perusahaan yang berdaya maju boleh mengembangkan perniagaan mereka dengan kos yang minimum,” katanya.

BANK Simpanan Nasional (BSN) expects to seal financing facilities worth RM5 million and RM500,000 in premium savings certificate sales at the Malaysia Property Exposition (Mapex) 2012.
The bank also anticipates some 150 applicants for its credit cards during the three-day event, which ended yesterday.
Head of sales at BSN Selangor main branch Azmi Mohd Noor said within the first two days of the expo, the bank received enquiries on property financing worth almost RM10 million.
"Yesterday, we received enquiries on financing for properties valued at about RM3.5 million and today (Saturday) about RM6 million.
"However, we normally do not close deals at the event, just enquiries.
"One week down the road ... then only we would probably see the deals clinched," he told Business Times on the sidelines of a talk held in conjunction with Mapex 2012, here recently.
BSN, which has been participating in Mapex for the past three years, is leveraging on the expo as part of its product branding.
In the first two days of Mapex 2012, the bank received 30 applications for its various credit cards.
"The credit card applicants are also eligible for our ongoing 'Happy Gold Rush' lucky draw," Azmi said.
He said during the expo, BSN offered potential property buyers a zero entry cost financing facility.
The bank also offers second generation financing or loans, and second charge to govern-ment financing.
"The second generation financing is for those who are reaching prime age, while the second charge to the government financing is for those who secured government loans but find that it is not enough.
"So, they can come to us and apply for the additional amount that they need to borrow under the second charge," he said.
Mapex 2012 is organised by the Real Estate and Housing Developers' Association Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR (March 1, 2012): Prudential BSN Takaful Bhd (PruBSN) has teamed up with Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Bhd to distribute its takaful products.
PruBSN CEO Azim Mithani said PruBSN aims to grow its market share in the local takaful industry through the partnership, but did not give figures.
As at Sept 30, 2011, PruBSN holds a 27% share of the takaful market with RM158.9 million annual contribution equivalent.
"We are positive about the outlook of the takaful industry," Azim told reporters after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between PruBSN and KFH Malaysia today.
He said the takaful sector grew at a compound annual growth rate of 27% in terms of net contributions in the past five years, led by family takaful certificates.
Family takaful lines grew by 28% between 2005 and 2010 and now represent more than 80% of Malaysia's takaful market.
Under the partnership, Azim said PruBSN will provide a wide range of products and services to KFH Malaysia's customers, with the first phase focused on credit-related plans. The range will be gradually widened to include protection and savings plans.
Azim said PruBSN will introduce new products, especially in life and healthcare, in the second and third quarters of this year.

Ketua Eksekutifnya, Azim Mithani berkata, langkah itu dilihat mampu merealisasikan hasrat syarikat usaha sama antara Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) dan Prudential PLC itu untuk muncul sebagai penyedia penyelesaian kewangan berlandaskan syariah lengkap bertaraf dunia.
Bancatakaful adalah cara pengedaran produk takaful dan produk kewangan menerusi rangkaian cawangan bank dan biasanya ia membabitkan kerjasama strategik antara pengendali takaful dan bank yang terbabit.
Meskipun ia masih baru di negara ini, namun bancatakaful dijangkakan menjadi penjana pertumbuhan industri takaful pada masa depan, sama seperti industri insurans yang berkembang melalui bancassurance.
Bagi tujuan itu, Azim berkata, PruBSN akan mengadakan lebih banyak kerjasama strategik dengan institusi kewangan terpilih, sekali gus memberi kelebihan ke-pada syarikat itu dari segi akses mudah kepada asas pelanggan milik institusi kewangan berkenaan.
“PruBSN melihat bancatakaful sebagai platform yang boleh menawarkan nilai menarik buat kami meneroka dan memanfaatkan sepenuhnya pelanggan yang dimiliki sesebuah bank.
“Menerusinya ia akan menyediakan akses mudah selain dapat membantu kami memenuhi setiap segmen sasaran pelanggan dengan lebih berkesan,” katanya pada media selepas mewakili PruBSN memeterai perjanjian persefahaman dengan Kuwait Finance House (Malaysia) Bhd (KFH Malaysia) di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.
Perjanjian itu adalah bagi membentuk kerjasama strategik dalam aktiviti pengedaran produk takaful. Pada majlis itu, KFH Malaysia diwakili Ketua Eksekutifnya, Datuk Jamelah Jamaluddin.
Sebagai permulaan, kerjasama itu akan memperlihatkan KFH Malaysia terbabit dalam aktiviti khidmat nasihat dan pemasaran pelan berkaitan kredit PruBSN kepada pelanggan KFH Malaysia.
Sementara itu, Azim berkata, PruBSN juga berhasrat menjadi pengendali perkhidmatan takaful utama di negara ini pada masa depan melalui langkah peningkatan kualiti produknya.
Beliau berkata, syarikat itu yang kini menguasai 27 peratus pasaran takaful tempatan, kekal yakin dengan potensinya dalam mempertingkatkan penguasaan walaupun baru ditubuhkan enam tahun lalu.
