Insights across South East Asia

<ul>
<li>Markets are right to hail Anwar's appointment as PM, as his multi-racial vision fits perfectly with the federalist ideas that Sabah-Sarawak desire, which will lend stability to his government. </li>
<li>Anwar should have been Malaysia's 5th PM, not its 10th. But his multi-racial approach, and commitment to fighting cronyism, support of the poor and simplicity among ministers have been consistent.</li>
<li>Anwar seeks a cleaner, more internationally-linked and fiscally responsible Malaysia. With the levers of power in his hand, he will deliver this during a single 5-year term. We are bullish. </li>

<li>Although Anwar-led Pakatan Harapan (PH) won a plurality as we expected, the Islamist PAS unexpectedly emerged as the largest Malay party, winning 49 seats (vs UMNO's 26 and Bersatu's 24).</li>
<li>PH could attempt to form coalition with the Borneo Bloc (28 seats) plus a few smaller parties. A stabler alliance would involve PH joining PAS, given their leaders' ABIM pasts. </li>
<li>PN and BN could attempt to cobble an alternative alliance with the Borneo Bloc, but the latter will be wary of PAS being the largest party in it. Uncertainty ahead! </li>

PH Wins a Narrow Plurality, but PAS Is the Single Largest Party: Uncertainty Ahead

<li>Expansionary fiscal and monetary policy have bolstered growth at the expense of a 13%YoY depreciation of the ringgit and capital flight reflected in shrinking FX reserves amid surging trade surpluses. </li>
