Helping Lower Grade Companies Access The Bond Market - Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn, Danajamin

Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn, CEO of Danajamin, addresses criticisms on the need to have a guarantee insurer like Danajamin in the market. Companies that do not have AAA or AA credit rating find it hard or more expensive to raise money in the bond market compared to borrowing from the banks. This is due to a general risk aversion among investors and banks are reluctant to guarantee bonds after their experiences in the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis. The risk aversion arises due to lack of right information about the company raising funds.

Danajamin is owned by the Ministry of Finance and Bank Negara Malaysia.

Great programs you have at BFM. I'm an avid listener on the way to work and home. Regretfully, miss Caroline. Her comments are more insightful and less riddled with cliches that don't add value. KSH and Noelle clearly have shown that they have don't their research. Keep it up.
