The current situation
A pre-emptive and precautionary measure, consistent with measures
taken by neighbouring jurisdictions, to maintain financial stability
Its main objectives are targeted at:
Maintaining stability of financial system by preserving confidence of
depositors
Mitigating possibility of funds moving to other jurisdictions with similar
guarantee
Mitigating effects of deposit movements amongst financial institutions (“FIs”)
Malaysian banking system is well capitalised and profitable, and it is
unlikely that the guarantee will be called upon
Under the Government Deposit Guarantee (“GDG”) implemented on 16 October 2008, deposits are now fully guaranteed
until 31 December 2010
