GST will have minimal impact on local banks


PETALING JAYA: The implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) today is only expected to have a minimal impact on local banks, according to a report by CIMB Research.

Citing the Association of Banks in Malaysia, CIMB said in a report that any added costs incurred post-GST would be “mostly pass-through” and have a minimal impact on banks’ earnings.
