Islamic banks to gain from better LCR


KUALA LUMPUR: The average liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) for Islamic banks in Malaysia has improved, which should help reduce funding pressure in the near future, says Maybank Investment Bank (Maybank IB) Research.

In a note, the research house said that from a pre-pandemic average of about 152%, the average LCR for Islamic banks dipped to a low of about 127% in October 2022.
