Real GDP growth outlook was revised down to 4.5-5.5% (vs. 5.0-6.0% previously). The fiscal deficit target was lowered to -3.2% of GDP (vs. -3.0% under Budget 2015), while reaffirming that fiscal consolidation efforts remain on track. The revised deficit targets were no surprise as we expected the government to manage the deficit within a tight range through various means of revenue enhancements and expenditure cuts. The government’s proactive measures will help to allay some fears, though we expect the overall market sentiment to remain cautious. Strategy Flash Note - Marketing in Asia We spent the past two weeks marketing to 195 investors and 60 investment firms in Asia our 2015 macroeconomic and strategy outlook. Investors were mostly underweighted in Malaysia and cited the country's fiscal position, currency and large foreign fixed income holdings as their key concerns. We, too, share these concerns, which explains our end-2015 KLCI target of 1,800pts. There could be downside to the target if corporate earnings fall short of our 8% EPS growth estimate. Our preferred sectors include construction, transport and utilities. We also still like selected smaller caps with strong balance sheets, robust earnings prospects and solid business models. Construction - Risks from Budget cuts removed The Prime Minister's speech on the revised Budget 2015 today contained good news for the overall sector- the RM49bn development expenditure (DE) is intact despite the fall in oil prices. This confirms our stance that the government would keep public transport and other major infra contracts as priorities. This news should remove the overhang on construction share prices, most of which have declined since late-2014 due to fears of a major cutback in infra spending. We recommend investors to be selective. Gamuda remains our top big-cap pick due to its exposure to the MRT and Penang transport infra projects. Muhibbah continues to be our preferred small/mid-cap stock in view of the pending awards from Rapid and Pengerang. Maintain Overweight.

Daybreak│Malaysia January 21, 2015 Global Economic News The International Monetary Fund (IMF) sharply cut its 2015-2016 world growth forecast, saying lower oil prices did not offset pervasive weaknesses around the globe.

Euro zone is expected to expand 1.2% in 2015, and 1.4% next year, while Japan is forecast to expand just 0.6% in 2015, and pick up to a still-sluggish 0.8% in 2016.

BI also predicted that current account deficit would be relatively high at 3.3-3.5% of GDP in 2015 as imports, especially imports of capital goods, would remain high to follow the growing investment. (Jakarta Globe, Antara News) Philippines’ balance of payments (BoP) stood at a surplus of US$843m in Dec (US$314m deficit in Nov). (Bloomberg) Malaysian Economic News Prime Minister Najib Razak said the 2015 budget gap will be 3.2% of GDP, bigger than an Oct target of 3%, and growth will be 4.5%-5.5% from an earlier projection of as much as 6%.

Malaysia’s economy isn’t in crisis, he said. He said the government is confident that over time, the ringgit's exchange rate will adjust to reflect Malaysia's strong economic fundamentals.

The first strategy would be to ensure a balanced, inclusive and sustainable economic growth to boost exports of goods and services. Other measures included a review of the levy on foreign workers and a waiver of visa fee for tourists from, among others, China, in a move to intensify the tourism industry. Besides, he said government-linked companies (GLCs) and government-linked investment companies (GLICs) were encouraged to invest domestically. The Prime Minister said the third strategy would be to assist the people and business community as well as rebuilding infrastructure damaged by the recent floods. (Bernama) The ringgit fell the most in emerging markets as Prime Minister Najib Razak revised the fiscal deficit target higher and lowered the 2015 economic growth forecast due to a plunge in oil prices. The ringgit was the worst performing Asian currency so far this month with a 2.9% loss against the dollar. Nine of Asia’s 11 most-traded currencies declined. The currency dropped the most against the greenback since Dec, a move that was compounded by the IMF cutting its global expansion estimate while upgrading its projection for the U.S. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose for a third day ahead of the Bank of Japan’s policy meeting and on speculation the European Central Bank will add to its bond purchases this week. (Bloomberg, Reuters) Efforts by the government to intensify promotions for "Made in Malaysia" goods will improve the purchasing power of Malaysians while increasing national revenue. Najib said the government would increase efforts to promote the campaign for "Made in Malaysia" products while increasing the frequency and extending the duration of the mega sales throughout the country. (Bernama) 4 Daybreak│Malaysia January 21, 2015 Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the flood disaster that hit the country recently caused infrastructure damage estimated at almost RM2.9bn.

The treasury secretary-general said by enforcing GST, the government wouold gain a projected revenue of RM1bn, which Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said would buffer the shortfall in the fiscal deficit target. (NST) Government agencies should optimise the use of existing government assets in view of the move to reschedule the purchase of non-critical assets as announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. An education minister said the existing assets only needed to be maintained well to ensure they could continue to be used. "This strategy is only temporary and many assets such as ministry buses which were eight years and older and should be replaced could instead be delayed for a while...the alternative is for us to maintain them well," he said.

MCIL management has stressed the publishing of the four newspapers titles will remain status quo, but employee re-allocation is still in the works. “Constant staff training and re-training, rationalisation and re-allocation of human resources for improved productivity and efficiency, are consistent initiatives undertaken by the management on a regular basis,” it said.

(Financial Daily) 7 Daybreak│Malaysia January 21, 2015 The AirAsia Indonesia Flight QZ8501 plane that crashed last month was climbing at an abnormally rapid rate, before it plunged and disappeared from radar, Indonesia’s transport minister has said. Ignasius Jonan told parliament that radar data showed the Airbus A320 was climbing at about 6,000ft a minute before it disappeared on 28 December. “It is not normal to climb like that, it’s very rare for commercial planes, which normally climb just 1,000 to 2,000ft per minute,” he said. “It can only be done by a fighter jet.” He did not say what was believed to have caused the plane to climb so rapidly. In their last contact with air traffic controllers, the pilots of AirAsia flight 8501 asked to climb from 32,000ft to 38,000ft to avoid threatening clouds, but were denied permission because of heavy air traffic. Four minutes later the plane disappeared. No distress signal was received. An excessively rapid ascent is likely to cause a plane to go into an aerodynamic stall. In 2009, an Air France Airbus A330 disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean while flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. Investigators were able to determine from the jet’s black boxes that the plane began a steep climb and then went into a stall from which the pilots were unable to recover. (Guardian) Investigators examining the cockpit voice recorder of the crashed AirAsia QZ8501 jet said Tuesday they were considering whether human error or problems with the plane caused the accident, after ruling out terrorism. Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC), which is probing the crash, said that it will release a preliminary report on 28 January. In initial analysis of the cockpit voice recorder, NTSC investigators said they did found no indication that terrorism had caused the crash and are now looking at other causes. "We didn't hear any other person, no explosion," investigator Nurcahyo Utomo told reporters, explaining why terrorism had been ruled out.
