  • State Intervention, Globalization and the Evolution of Malaysian Banks' Identities
    Chin Yee Whah _____________________________________________________________ State Intervention, Globalization and the Evolution of Malaysian Banks' Identities CHIN YEE WHAH Abstract This article describes and explains the evolution of Malaysia's locally owned banks in a series of mergers and acquisitions within national borders and beyond. It argues that state intervention, external economic and financial crises and the liberalization of the financial sector have compelled the consolidation of local banks in Malaysia. The consolidation process has resulted in the increased size of state-owned banks, decreased the number of local Chinese-owned banks and seen a decline in family shareholding in the remaining Chinese-control- led banks. Through regional expansion both Chinese-controlled and state- owned operations have become large-scale regionally based banking groups or global banks, deepening the financial integration in ASEAN countries. Keywords: Chinese finance, bank identities, affirmative policy, financial liberalization and integration, ASEAN Introduction This article studies Malaysian banks with an evolutionary economics approach to describe changes of ownership, identities and develop- ment by analysing how state intervention and the forces of globaliza- tion have resulted in the merger and acquisition (M&A) of Malaysia's local banks and their expansion into ASEAN countries and beyond. Under the affirmative action of its New Economic Policy (NEP), the state has been persistent in gradually consolidating Malaysia's bank- ing industry. The state took the strongest approach and entirely re- formed the domestic banking sector from the mid-1980s, when a world economic recession occurred. Next, it was the Asian financial crisis (AFC) of 1997/98 that severely hit Malaysia and four other ASEAN countries' financial sectors.
