Domestic financial system remains well-positioned

KUALA LUMPUR: The strong buffers of banks, insurers and takaful operators will continue to preserve the resilience of financial institutions against potential unexpected losses, according to Bank Negara.

“Assuming additional severe shocks applied on top of the bank's stress test, post-shock aggregate capital ratios as at end-2023 remain comfortably above regulatory minimum levels at 15.4% for banks and 209% for insurers and takaful operators.
