9TH CFO INNOVATION MALAYSIA FORUM

20th May 2021 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

RESHAPING THE FINANCE AGENDA: IMPROVING AGILITY IN IMPLEMENTING STRATEGY SHIFTS 

About the Event

“The COVID-19 crisis has emphasized the importance of taking a dynamic view of policy in addressing the ongoing crisis, with a clear set of strategies for different phases of recovery, to manage difficult trade-offs between providing relief today and supporting recovery and growth tomorrow”.

• Ndiame Diop, Country Director - Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand, World Bank

In Malaysia, considering the weakening economy, supply chain disruptions, repercussion from troubled sectors and loss of jobs, the liquidity and capital resources eased somewhat towards the end of the year.

 According to IMF forecasts the GDP growth is expected to fall to -1.7% in 2020 and pick up to 9% in 2021, subject to the post-pandemic global economic recovery, and is bound to improved external demand conditions, fiscal and stimulus support measures and positive sentiment from the rollout of the vaccine.

The turbulence caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has forced CFOs to remain focused towards building a successful post-crisis organization. As the pandemic reshapes businesses, CFOs’ concerns will be on capital resources and liquidity management as companies start focusing on rebuilding after the pandemic. They also need to create and lead a resilient financial operation – to strike the right balance between technology and people, investment and savings, expansion and diversification, consolidation and acquisition.
