Weekly Briefing: ID Monetary Policy, SVB Collapse, ASEAN ESG Performance

We look into Bank Negara Malaysia’s decision to keep the OPR unchanged at 2.75%, and our expectations of Bank Indonesia’s policy meeting on Thursday. We also assess the potential impact of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank on Malaysia and Singapore banks. We issued a seminal report on sustainability and found that ASEAN companies under our coverage expanded their ESG adoption despite geopolitics and anti-ESG propaganda had hurt ESG flows and performance.
