BNM timbang beri kelonggaran institusi kewangan sokong peralihan tenaga
Gabenor Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour berkata BNM komited mudah cara projek tenaga hijau selain kaji pelarasan kawal selia bagi sokong usaha itu.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) is considering extending the duration of support for financial institutions to encourage higher risk-taking in the transition to cleaner energy, said Gabenor Abdul Rasheed Ghaffour. The central bank is reviewing how regulations can be better adapted to support the transition, including providing longer periods for financial institutions to take on more risk within their risk appetite.
"Risk must be understood, evaluated and managed appropriately within the acceptable risk level," Rasheed said during the JC3 Journey to Zero 2026 conference. BNM is committed to facilitating the design of green energy projects beyond reviewing capital adequacy and stress testing to support these efforts. While there are funds available, the main challenge is the financing of high-potential green projects, particularly those in early stages, which often struggle to secure commercially viable funding, even if technically feasible.
Many high-impact projects at the early stage face difficulties in obtaining commercial funding, despite their technical feasibility.
