    Principles of Lending

    • Principle of Risk Taking: Effective risk management identification and mitigation of vulnerable risks; lending covenants, terms, and conditions, and structuring of credit facilities.
    • Principle of Prioritizing the Quality of Credit: Pursuing loan growth and account profitability while maintaining loan asset quality; importance of mitigating financial implications of loan impairment. Should extend 50-100 times new credit to compensate for every ringgit of loan losses.
    • Principle of Proportionate Stake: Assess owner/shareholder commitment and only debt creditors for fixed returns on the lending risk. A low capital commitment by shareholder/borrower increases loan default risk during economic hardship.
    • Principle of Pari-Passu: Lender ensures equal footing in security arrangement and credit exposure with other lenders; avoid being a junior creditor during liquidation.
    • Principle of Protection: Negotiating collateral and credit support (e.g., guarantees) in loan structuring; securing adequate cash flow, and ensuring adequate assets to allow lender recovery.
    • Principle of Control: Control over loan usage and sources of repayment, proper structuring, and effective lending covenant monitoring.
    • Principle of Risk Diversification: Diversifying lending portfolio to mitigate concentration risk on any single borrower, group, industry sector, or market segment.
    • Principle of Appropriate Tenure of Financing: Matching loan tenure with borrower's needs to mitigate funding mismatch; control over cash flow to support loan repayment. Longer tenures increase default risk.
