	Bank Negara says economy still resilient (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Bank Negara said the main segments of the economy were expected to grow this year, with construction and mining expanding by 3% and 2.8% respectively after contracting in 2006.
		Bank Negara said this year's monetary policy would strike a balance between the need to ensure interest rates remained at a level that would enable the central bank to respond to any risk of rising inflation while remaining conducive to sustaining growth in domestic demand.
		Bank Negara estimates the economic payoffs from the migration to e-payments would add at least 1% to GDP growth and lead to huge cost savings across the economy.

	Asia Times: Malaysian central bank projects 1% GDP growth in '99
		Bank Negara is sticking to its relatively conservative one percent growth projection despite more optimistic forecasts made by both local and foreign investment houses and equity research firms of two to three percent.
		Bank Negara said growth could be higher, closer to two percent, based on efforts to hasten the comprehensive restructuring of the banking and corporate sectors as well as those to raise the utilization of excess capacity in the economy.
		Bank Negara also said real aggregate domestic demand is projected to turn around to chalk up an increase of 4.3 percent this year, reflecting mainly the positive response to the measures taken by the government to stimulate domestic demand.

		Bank Negara Malaysia also manages the foreign exchange reserves of the country to ensure that Malaysia is able to meet its international obligations, thereby cushioning any temporary shifts in inflows and outflows in Malaysia's balance of payments and thus promote a stable and fundamentally sound ringgit exchange rate.
		Bank Negara Malaysia also maintains close relationship with supervisors in other countries to ensure that developments abroad, especially in countries where Malaysia has a banking presence and countries of foreign banks in Malaysia, would not threaten the stability of the Malaysian financial system.
		Bank Negara Malaysia serves as the economic and financial adviser to the Government and also participates in international meetings to strengthen co-operation with other countries as well as to discuss the important issues from the perspective of emerging market economies.

		Bank Negara Malaysia (Central Bank of Malaysia) was established in January 1959, in line with the Banking Ordinance 1958 (revised to the Central Bank of Malaysia Act in 1994).
		Bank Negara Malaysia also helps to develop the institutions and infrastructure that are the foundations of a modern and solid financial system.
		Bank Negara Malaysia must ensure that the general money supply and credit volume have the appropriate "elasticity" to meet the demands of the domestic economy, while not making unjustified demands on the country's resources at the same time.

	Fitch IBCA Ratings - Press Releases - NEW RATING FOR INDONESIA'S BANK NEGARA INDONESIA
		Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) is Indonesia's largest state-owned bank and second largest bank overall with about an 8% share of banking system loans.
		In 1996, 25% of the banks shares were sold to the public with the government continuing to hold the balance.
		The bank has performed well over the past few years, but the strong performance was due to strong growth in non-interest income and reduced provisions rather than interest revenue growth.

	Bank Negara keeps overnight policy rate at 3.5% (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The central bank's assessment of the overall economic outlook indicates that the underlying trend has not varied since the monetary policy statement in April, and expects the Malaysian economy to maintain its momentum on the basis of favourable domestic and external conditions.
		In a statement yesterday, Bank Negara said while Malaysia was not insulated from global inflationary forces, at present there was limited evidence of second round effects, and the lack of demand pressures implied that the monetary policy response could take a pause.
		The central bank said its monetary policy would continue to be vigilant to inflationary risks and would respond to any risk of inflation becoming a threat to the medium- to long-term prospects of the economy.

	Aliran - Forays into forex: Bank Negara's RM9.3b loss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Even if Bank Negara’s profit-seeking in the forex market was proper central bank policy, the size of its loss points to a major failure in checks and controls – both within the Bank, and between the Bank and the Finance Minister.
		The law also requires Bank Negara to keep the Minister informed of the monetary and banking policy pursued or intended to be pursued by the Bank.
		Surely any central bank’s intentions on the international scene are, or should be, transparent: to defend the nation’s currency, and, to quote the Bank’s own publication, “to monitor and safeguard the value of the international reserves” – not to engage in profit-seeking.

	Hanil Bank v. Pt. Bank Negara Indonesia
		Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) appeals from the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Keenan, J.), entered July 21, 1997, denying its motion to dismiss the action brought by Hanil Bank pursuant to Fed. R.
		The Iraqi banks argued that because their obligations to the Commercial Bank of Kuwait were not required to be performed in the United States, there could be no direct effect in the United States.
		Because Hanil specified a New York bank account into which the funds were to be deposited -- and because BNI had not eliminated New York as an option in the letter of credit it issued -- its breach resulted in the failure of funds destined for New York to arrive there.

		Bank Negara's general interpretation of Electronic Banking appears to be congruent with the US Federal Reserve's scope of Electronic Banking that states: "Systems that enable bank customers to access accounts and general information on bank products and services through a personal computer (PC) or other intelligent device".
		Bank Negara's release of the guidelines for Electronic banking provision in Malaysia was timely and important in moving the new banking idea up the priority list.
		Although the banks could establish portals on their own, it would be difficult for them to attract traffic as compared to the well established and popular portals.

	Bank Negara explains rationale for bank mergers
		BANK Negara governor Tan Sri Ali Abul Hassan Sulaiman yesterday referred to his earlier statement on the merger programme for domestic banking institutions announced on July 29, 1999 and emphasised that the merger exercise will not, in any way, weaken the financial strength of the merged entities.
		The merger of one commercial bank and the consolidation of the finance company industry were thus driven by the rescue scheme in order to restore stability in the banking sector.
		With the growth expected in the economy the expanded banking services may be able to retain a sizeable portion of the staff after rationalisation together with new job opportunities arising from the development of the domestic bond market.

	Black Sheep in Bank Islam & Bank Negara-Must be Identified, Exposed and Punished!
		DAP calls for immediate stern action to be taken not only against Bank Islam officers who were negligent, abused their powers and resposnsible for Bank Islam’s RM 700 million pre-tax losses but also Bank Negara for failing to detect such financial malpractices.
		Clearly Bank Islam’s after-tax losses of RM 456 million for the financial year ending 30 June 2005 as compared to RM85.7 million profit last year shows not only a distinctive pattern of poor corporate performance and declining economic growth but also lack of internal control and proper regulation by Bank Negara.
		Bank Islam has confirmed that much of the bad loans were given out to companies in Sarajevo and South Africa, but the main branch responsible for disbursing such loans was the Labuan off-shore branch.

	Time for full and total disclosure of the RM30 billion Bank Negara forex
		Bank Negara had been accused for instance of dumping large amounts of Ringgit into the market in the closing days of 1993 to buy US Dollars, causing the Ringgit to fall steeply.
		Let me clarify that when I made these assumptions about Bank Negara forex losses as a result of foreign exchange speculation spree could be as high as RM30 billion, I did not get the facts and figures from thin air, but I had the able and expert assistance of a former topmost Bank Negara officer.
		He should be taken at his word, and all secret documents on the Bank Negara forex losses of 1992-1994 should be declassified so that Malaysians can finally know the truth of what is probably the biggest mega-financial scandal in the nation’s history.
