For the first nine months of 2009, the total value of newly-rated bonds assigned and announced in Malaysia amounted to RM32.15 billion, of which RM18.09 billion or 56.26% were rated by MARC. Going forward for the next 6 months MARC expects a pick-up in corporate bond activity in line with economic growth which is expected to move into positive territory. The formation of Danajamin Nasional Berhad also augurs well for lower investment grade issues which have not been able to access the bond market due to investor risk aversion.
Notable rated bonds assigned and announced by MARC includes, Sime Darby Berhad’s proposed RM4.5 billion bonds issue, IJM Corporation Berhad’s proposed RM1 billion Commercial Papers/Medium Term Notes Programme, CIMB Bank Berhad’s proposed RM5 billion Subordinated Debt and Junior Sukuk Programme, UMW Holdings Berhad’s RM800 million Islamic Commercial Papers/Medium Term Notes, Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings Berhad RM3 billion Subordinated Fixed Rate Bonds and CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad RM2 billion Junior Sukuk Programme.
