Trending within expectations

The operating environment for CIMB Group is stable and guidance thus far would point to an improved outlook for its Thai and Indonesian operations into 2017. While we are positive on these developments, we think much is reflected in our forecasts. Against a projected ROE of 8.7% for FY17, we continue to peg valuations to a FY17 P/BV of 0.9x – our HOLD call and TP of MYR4.70 are thus maintained.

Strong finish to 2016

Economics Research





Total trade growth picked up in Dec 2016 to +9.9% YoY (Nov 2016: +8.7% YoY), pushed up by oil trade surge (Dec 2016: +30.2% YoY; Nov 2016: +24.7% YoY). Trade surplus widened to +SGD5.4b (Nov 2016: +SGD4.9b). Trade outlook for 2017 is case of upside surprise from firmer global demand versus the downside risk of US-China trade conflict.







NEWS


Outside Malaysia:

E.U: Car sales rose 6.5% to a nine-year high in 2016, propelled by pent-up demand amid a recovering economy. Registrations increased to 15.1 million vehicles last year from 14.2 million in 2015, the Brussels-based European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, or ACEA, said. (Source: Bloomberg)

U.K: Inflation accelerated more than forecast in December as signs mounted that the pound’s decline is leading to a surge in import costs. Consumer-price growth increased to 1.6% YoY, the highest since July 2014, from 1.2% YoY in November. A separate report showed the cost of imports soared at the fastest annual rate in more than five years. (Source: Bloomberg)

China: PBOC adopts mid-term credit tool as old benchmark fades away. China is increasingly managing the flow of credit with more finely-tuned instruments than its old method of changing how much of their deposits lenders must keep locked away. Banks’ required reserve requirements haven’t changed for almost a year. Instead, the central bank has used short-term lending channels to add almost six times as much funding than would have been added by lowering banks’ RRRs by half a percentage point. The PBOC pumped in a net CNY 270b (USD 39b) through open-market operations, the most in a year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That followed last week’s CNY 305.5b of MLF operations, the main short-term lending tool used to meet banks’ medium-term cash demand. (Source: Bloomberg)

Thailand: Chinese tourists become a wildcard for growth outlook. Thailand is nursing a slide in Chinese holidaymakers after cracking down on low-budget tours from the world’s most-populous country, muddying the Southeast Asian nation’s economic growth outlook. Arrivals fell about 30% YoY in November, extending a slide that began in September after Thailand clamped down on operators bringing in large groups from China on cut- price holidays. Some of the impact could linger in the early part of 2017, according to Kasikorn Research Center Co. Thailand’s military government is seeking to focus on smaller groups of higher-spending visitors to bolster the tourism industry longer term. Chinese visitors last year were the most by headcount and tourism accounts for about 11% of Thailand’s USD 395b gross domestic product. Economic expansion was subdued even before the move against the so-called zero-dollar tour groups from China. (Source: Bloomberg)

It would house a Ferris-wheel on the 52nd floor at its highest vantage point of 220m above ground level. (Source: The Sun Daily)

Toyo Ink: Inks MoA on power plant in Vietnam. The group has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Hau Giang Province in Vietnam with both parties agreeing to confirm the terms and conditions as set out in the Land Lease Agreement to develop a thermal power plant project. To recap, Toyo Ink had in 2013 received approval from the Vietnam government to be the project investor to invest and develop a 2x1,000 MW coal-fired thermal power plant on a BOT basis, with a concession period of 25 years. The mega-project was estimated to cost USD3.5b. (Source: The Edge Financial Daily)
