Strengthening the Housing Finance System
BNM also takes a responsible and measured approach to ensure Malaysia’s housing market remains strong and stable. The regulatory measures include: 1. Strengthening of risk management standard and corporate governance practices
of financial market players Focus accorded towards enhancing capital and liquidity standards of financial institutions as well as raising their governance and risk management standards.
2. Effective policies in place for development of housing finance system Strengthened the financial infrastructure in housing finance system including the development of a Secondary Mortgage Market to help the primary lenders, maintaining low default rates in the system and effective financial safety net
3. Comprehensive and robust regulatory and supervisory framework and effective
surveillance Forward looking and focused on addressing the risks to overall financial stability
16
The soundness and robustness of the housing finance system lies with the strong supervision functions by Central Bank of Malaysia which acts as the main regulator for housing finance.
Areas of regulations include margin of finance for the purchase of 3rd house and above, capital charge on mortgage financing according to its loan to value and priority sector lending guidelines which set the financing terms and condition for the purchase of low cost house.
Vested with comprehensive legal powers under legislation to regulate and supervise the housing finance. Under the loan/financing contracts, the financiers generally have the avenue to:-
transfer/assign its rights vested in the property to a third party; and
Enforce legal action ie; foreclosure proceedings, bankruptcy upon any event of default.

Prudential Lending Guidelines by Central Bank of Malaysia
• Mandated lending to priority sectors including affordable housing was introduced by the Central Bank in 1976.
• Aimed at increasing the access of credit for
affordable housing as well as providing them with subsidized access to such credit
• Maximum margin of 1.75% above BLR and
maximum profit rate of 9% were imposed for lending for houses costing not more than RM100,000 in Peninsula Malaysia and RM120,000 in Sabah and Sarawak.
• Guidelines were issued by the Central Bank
to the banking system requiring banking institutions to internally set lending/financing target for the priority sectors which include housing loan to low cost houses.
Other recent measures introduced by the Central Bank: Responsible Lending Guidelines • Impose the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio
of 70% for 3rd house purchased
• Lowering the maximum tenure of home loans
• All banks to fix their loan-to-value
ratio based on the net selling price rather than gross selling price.

Building Sustainable Housing Finance Systems
Development of Secondary Mortgage Market:
Cagamas Berhad
Creation of a secondary mortgage market as a result of a liquidity crunch in the
1980s and public policy objective of a “homeownership democracy”
Spearhead the development of Private Debt Securities (PDS) market
The market situation in the mid-1980’s:-
Financial institutions were not lending to homebuyers
despite demand
Funding mismatch in financial institutions
resulting in liquidity crunch
Limited funding source in the market – no bond
market
There was a need in the market for an institution to:-
1. Function as intermediary between primary lenders and investors of long term funds; and
2. Take on role of credible issuer of mortgage securities
Secondary Mortgage Market - Background 20
• Commenced operations in 1987 as the National Mortgage Corporation • Objective
• Cagamas issues local and international debt securities to finance the purchase of loans/financing assets (mainly mortgage) from financial institutions and non-financial institutions.
• The provision of liquidity to financial institutions at a competitive cost to the primary lenders of mortgage encourages further expansion of financing for houses at an affordable cost and increases home ownership by Malaysians.
• The Cagamas model is well regarded by the World Bank as a successful secondary mortgage liquidity facility.
• Cagamas’ debt securities continue to be assigned the highest local ratings of AAA by RAM
Rating Services Berhad and Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad, denoting its strong credit quality.
• In 2014, Cagamas established its conventional and Islamic EMTN programmes of USD 2.5billion respectively. Cagamas has been internationally rated A3 by Moody’s.
• Sovereign Malaysia rating by international rating agencies are Fitch (A-), Moody’s (A3) and Standard & Poor (A-)
