(FOD-GMM)
GMM is a

research 
(e.g.,

GMM 
addresses 
the endogeneity issue - lagged dependent 
variable 
as one of the 
explanatory
 
variables
FOD method 
is chosen 
over First Difference 
(FD) because it

Rationales:
To 
sustain brown sectors 
with continue financing – 
to 
minimize impact 
on employment 
market 
and
 
the
 
60%
 
household
 
segment
As
 
agent
 
of
 
change
 
 brown
 
sectors
 
may
 
sunset
 
gradually
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
borrowing
 
cost
Proceeds from carbon 
premiums would 
be 
a 
sizeable 
private 
fund 
(approx. 
MYR3- 
4billion/year from non-household segment) to 
develop the 
green 
sector 
and a 
plus 
to ETF 
VCM
 
platform.
Through carbon premium, banks 
are 
able 
to 
contribute constructively 
in 
sustaining existing 
economy
 
and
 
developing
 
the
 green
 
sector,
Through
 
carbon premium,
 
brown
 
sectors
 
also
 
contributing
 
in
 
the
 
green
 
sector
 
development
Within the 
BNM 
jurisdiction, BNM 
can 
determine 
the 
concerted 
premium 
rate 
and 
target 
sector 
(e.g., 
export 
sensitive 
sectors) 
in achieving the 
NZE mandate 
while ensuring the 
core 
mandate
 
on
 
price
 stability
 being

  9. Hypotheses: Climate Risk Scenarios Three climate risk scenarios are Flooding (physical climate risk), Export Shock (transition climate risk) and CarbonPremium (transition climate risk): Scenario1: Flooding Reference: 2021 Flooding Event Cantelmo, Melinna, and Papageorgiou (2019) Scenario2: Export Shock Reference: EU Deforestation Ban US Forced Labour Ban Department of Statistics Malaysia Scenario3: Carbon Premium Reference: Singapore USD5/mtCO2e Japan USD5/mtCO2e Parry,Black, and Zhunussova (2022) Transmitted through: GDP at -0.5% Unemployment Rate at +0.5% Transmitted through: GDP at -2% Unemployment Rate at +3% Transmitted through: Overnight Policy Rate at 0.4% Impact on Banks Loans and Advances and Expected Credit Loss Exposure *All three scenarios are deliberated through cross-referencing pertinent literature, historical records from Department of Statistics Malaysia (DSOM) and Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), and climate policies implemented by countries in the region.

  12. Data Dependent Variables: Loans & Advances (LG) and Expected Credit Loss (ECL) are gathered from 19 banks annualreportsspanningfrom2012 to 2021. Independent Variables: ROE is sourced from banks annual reports, and the GDP, HPI, INF, OPR and UR are sourced from the DOSM and the BNM PreliminaryDataAnalyses are performed: Unit Root Test: - results show that the ECL contains unit root but with first difference, it is stationary Panel Cointegration Test: - results show that independent variables have long-term relation withthe dependent variables Correlation Analysis:- result showsthat independentvariables are highlycorrelated

Observation Note: LG = Loan Growth Rate, ECL = Expected Credit Loss Growth Rate, GDP = GDP Growth Rate, HPI = Housing Price Index, INF = Inflation, OPR= Overnight Policy Rate, ROE = Return on Equity, and UR = Unemployment Rate.

  15. Methodology Sensitivity Analyses:Forward Orthogonal Transformation of Generalized Method of Moments (FOD-GMM) GMM is a proven econometric method on financial related research (e.g., Athanasoglou, Brissimis, and Delis 2008, Caby, Ziane, and Lamarque 2022, Dietrich and GabrielleWanzenried2014,Teixeiraet al. 2020 GMM addresses the endogeneity issue - lagged dependent variable as one of the explanatoryvariables FOD method is chosen over First Difference (FD) because it proven to have higher efficiency (e.g., Hayakawa (2009), Phillips(2019), Hsiaoand Zhou(2017))

  16. Methodology (Continued) ModelSpecification: ?it= ??it 1+ ??it+ ??it+ ??i+ ?it where ?itis the dependent variable (e.g., LG or ECL) of bank ? at time ?, ?it 1denotes the endogenous variable, ?itdenotes the ROE, ECL and LG variables, ?itdenotes the vector of macroeconomic variables: GDP Growth Rate (GDP), Housing Price Index (HPI), Inflation (INF), Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) and Unemployment Rate (UR), ?iis an unobserved time-invariant effect, and ?itdenotes the error terms. The parameters are denoted by ?, ?, ?, and ?. In particular, the ? is the parameter of interest to assess the impacts of the three climate risk scenarios

  17. Methodology (Continued) Assessment& Robustness Validation A series of 40 regression models is performed with the combination of control variables (?it) Sargan test is used to validate each model (e.g., Arellano and Bond (1991), Arellano and Bover(1995), Roodman(2006)) Signs and significance levels of estimated parameters from validated models are assessed for robustness ClimateRisk Impact Extrapolation The impact of each deliberated climate risk scenario on banks loans & advances (LG) and expected credit loss exposure (ECL) are transmitted through robust parameters of the designatedtransmitters

  24. Conclusion While Malaysia may be in the non-disaster-prone-country category, the impacts posed by physical and transition climaterisks are significance. Amongstthe three examinedclimate risk scenarios: Financial impact posed by Export Shock scenario is severe on Malaysia s banking system 10% impact on export to the US and Europe is simulated through GDP and UR Recurrence of 2021 flooding is simulated through GDP and UR USD5/mtCO2e is simulated through carbon premium

  25. Conclusion (Continued) Policyrecommendation: USD5/mtCO2e is simulated through carbon premium Carbon Premium Carbon Credit Carbon Tax Carbon premium on loans and advances to brown sectors. This is a critical climate risk tool for BNM and within its jurisdiction to charter the pathway for banks to meet the NZE mandate by 2050 ETF on Carbon Allowance through Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) platform regulated by Securities Commission (SC) Being mooted for implementation potentially a joint jurisdictions: Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) and Department of Environment (DOE)

  26. Conclusion (Continued) CarbonPremiumRationales: To sustain brown sectors with continue financing to minimize impact on employment market and the 60% household segment As agentof change brownsectors may sunsetgraduallydueto higherborrowingcost Proceeds from carbon premiums would be a sizeable private fund (approx. MYR3- 4billion/year from non-household segment) to develop the green sector and a plus to ETF VCM platform. Through carbon premium, banks are able to contribute constructively in sustaining existing economyand developingthe green sector, Throughcarbon premium, brownsectors also contributingin the green sectordevelopment Within the BNM jurisdiction, BNM can determine the concerted premium rate and target sector (e.g., export sensitive sectors) in achieving the NZE mandate while ensuring the core mandateon price stability beingin tact.
