Our success as a business is closely linked to the progress of the people, communities and businesses we serve; and as a
stakeholder-centric organisation, BIMB strives to create value for everyone impacted by our business. We deliver this through
our integrated model that recognises the connectivity and interdependency of the many factors that impact our ability to
create stakeholder value, both now and into the future. This section describes our value creation story, which encompasses
a range of factors, including our operating environment, stakeholder expectations, the capitals we utilise, our responses to
the risks and opportunities that arise, and the overarching strategy that we have implemented.
We maintain a robust risk management framework that enables us to mitigate risks and capitalise on the opportunities
that we encounter in the course of business, and which underpins our effective value creation model.

HARNESSING
CAPITALS
Capitals are stocks of value we depend on as the inputs to our business model, and which are increased, decreased or
transformed through our business activities and outputs.
Our capitals are the resources and relationships that are essential to our business. We create value and deliver on our
strategy by transforming the various capitals. We seek to operate and grow inclusively, responsibly and sustainably, thereby
maximising value creation and minimising any negative impacts.
Hence, our long-term relevance as a business depends on these capitals’ availability, utilisation, and consequent value
delivered. When deciding how to manage our business, we consider the trade-offs between capitals: we aim to maximise
positive outputs and outcomes and limit negative impacts.
Capitals key to our long-term value creation include Financial Capital, Manufactured Capital, Intellectual Capital, Human
Capital, Social & Relationship Capital and Natural Capital.

Our material issues are those that matter most to our stakeholders and have an impact on our sustainability and ability
to create value in the short, medium and long-term.
These Material Matters influence how the Board and Management steer the Group forward. Our ability to create value
is impacted by a multitude of factors, including the operating environment, our responses to the risks and opportunities
presented by these material matters and our strategy.
With an in-depth understanding of our material matters, we can better define our strategies and resource allocation
plans, thereby positioning our Group to implement meaningful actions and anticipate sustainability challenges. Identifying
the Group’s material issues is the first step toward understanding the internal and external factors that affect our business.

SEGMENTAL PERFORMANCE
BIMB has three operating segments, which are Consumer Banking; Corporate and Commercial Banking; and Treasury.
Our Consumer Banking segment encompasses retail. Our Corporate and Commercial Banking encompasses non-retail.
Treasury encompasses trading and investment book.
Consumer Banking reported a net income of RM1.2 billion for the financial year ended 31 December 2021, 13.4% higher
than the previous year, attributed mainly to a higher net fund-based income. Gross financing for Consumer Banking as
at end December 2021 stood at RM44.5 billion. This marks a year-on-year growth of 7.5% which was driven, mainly, by
growth in house financing.
Corporate and Commercial Banking recorded a net income of RM415.6 million, a rise of 6.5% from the previous year, with
the increase mainly due to higher net fund-based income. Total gross financing for the segment stood at RM14.7 billion.
Treasury registered a net income of RM241.4 million for the period, which is 47.1% lower than the previous year. The softer
performance was, mainly, due to a lower net gain from sale of investment securities. Treasury assets stood at RM20.0 billion.

Competition will remain intense in the consumer banking market as banks target high-growth and higher net worth
consumer segments. Uncertainties still remain as the Malaysian economy continues to recover, with the impact of the
pandemic still ongoing and many retail customers facing financial challenges once finance repayment moratoriums end.
The consumer banking landscape has also evolved with customers shifting to online and other self-service channels.
Despite the challenges, BIMB aims to grow our financing by 8% to RM47.5 billion in 2022 through implementing a range
of strategies, including:
• Growing our Green Financing portfolio through ESG initiatives such as hybrid & electric vehicle financing and financing
for home solar panels.

CASH MANAGEMENT
WHO WE ARE
Deposits & Cash Management drives Bank Islam’s strategic initiatives to achieve sustainable deposits growth. By developing
viable strategies suited to the evolving business and economic environment, we reduce BIMB’s cost of funds by achieving

which forms one of the essential sources of funds that contributes to a stable liquidity adequacy ratio for the Bank. To

and business environment. During the year, we continued to develop strategies to capture new customer segments, and
have increasingly leveraged on the power of digitalisation, utilising social media to reach new target markets. We have

AWARDS
• Bank Islam was the Gold Winner in ‘Anugerah Pilihan Pengguna Majlis
Tindakan Pengguna Negara 2020/21’ through collaboration between Deposit
& Cash Management and Austin Height Branch.
The outlook for the year ahead is more positive, as economic growth accelerates. However, real challenges will remain.
The SME and micro-enterprise sectors look set to benefit from higher growth and increased employment, but also face
risks from labour shortages and rising inflationary pressure. Larger corporations, with more than RM100 million in earnings
also face the additional prospect of higher taxes from the one-off Cukai Makmur, which may result in a slight decline in
savings. While households will start rebuilding their savings, a considerable number of individuals and micro-enterprises
may face pressure as the finance moratoriums end in March 2022. Consumers’ investment preference may also be more
restrained and skewed towards mutual funds, insurance savings and property. Against this backdrop, we are focused on
maintaining a strong liquidity position through increasing deposits. To continue growing in 2022 and beyond, we are
implementing a series of strategic plans to:

TREASURY
AND MARKETS
WHO WE ARE
The Treasury & Markets (T&M) Division provides Shariah-compliant treasury solutions to meet the business needs of our
clients across multiple segments. Our products and services include Money Market, Foreign Exchange (FX), Fixed Income
Markets, and structured products.
The year under review saw continued volatility in global financial markets as well as disruptive business conditions from
multiple pandemic lockdowns. Enhancements in internal risk metrics and compliance also added rigour to the day to
day management of the Bank’s profit rate, FX, and liquidity risk. We nevertheless remained focused and consistent in
meeting our clients’ requirements and expectations in providing reliable and quality services, products and solutions.
Despite restrictions in corporate activity and cross border funds flows, FX sales volume in 2021 continued to grow from
the previous year, but intense competition has resulted in significant margin erosion. The US Dollar maintained its strength
throughout 2021 on the back of expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates aggressively in
2022 and into 2023. The Dollar Index increased by 6.4% in 2021. Against this index, the Ringgit fared better, weakening
by 4.1%. Against the Euro and Japanese Yen, however, the Ringgit emerged stronger by 4.2% and 6.7% respectively. This
was supported by improved sentiment from the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and accelerated COVID-19 vaccine booster
inoculations. The Ringgit was weaker against most Asian currencies with exception of the Thai Baht in 2021.
There was steady and significant growth in total deposits for the Bank throughout the year. However, wholesale funding
costs continued to be elevated due to intense competition, contributing to margin compression for both Treasury
investments and Financing assets. The Bank’s liquidity metrics, nevertheless, improved further in 2021.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) maintained the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 1.75% throughout 2021, maintaining an
accommodative stance in support of business activities whilst cushioning the negative impact on household incomes
affected by the pandemic. Short term Islamic interbank rates were capped within a steady range with overnight rates
trading between 1.68% to 1.77%, 1 week between 1.76% to 1.79% and 1 month between 1.85% to 1.91%.
Fixed income investments continued to deliver on both fund based and trading income whilst Sukuk distribution activities
were commendable for the year despite a steepening in the Ringgit yield curve and tepid secondary trading liquidity
conditions. The Bank was appointed as Lead Manager/Joint Lead Manager for 15 ESG-rated sukuk distribution deals and
continued to perform an active role as Islamic Principal Dealer (iPD). The fixed income team achieved a Top 5 ranking
in Bloomberg’s Malaysian Ringgit Islamic Sukuk League Table for 2021.
T&M’s contribution to the Bank’s profitability from Asset Liability Management/Money Market, FX Sales and Trading, and
Fixed income investment activities was much lower compared to the previous year but still significant at just below 30%.
We expect volatility in the financial markets and the challenging business operating environment to persist in 2022 due
to the continued uncertainties around COVID-19, rising oil prices, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical risks. Growing
inflationary pressures will pressure the Fed to hasten rate normalisation and balance sheet reduction. On the local front,
BNM is expected to remain cautious in its rate normalisation path in view of the growing external risk factors and market
uncertainties. Most forecasts anticipate one hike in the OPR in 2022 and a likelihood of 4 hikes in 2023.
We believe that it will take some time for the FX and Rates markets to stabilise. Continued improvements in the overall
liquidity metrics of the Bank and generation of non-volatile trading income from sales and distribution will be the main
focus areas for T&M in 2022. This will entail strategies of short-duration investments, further diversification of the Bank’s
wholesale funding base and emphasis on customer service excellence.

BUSINESS REVIEW
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
8.9
The outlook for 2022 is marked by uncertainty, even as the country enters the endemic phase of COVID-19. Markets will
remain volatile as economies return to growth but face headwinds from geopolitical factors, supply chain disruptions
and other uncertainties. The prevailing low interest rate has continued to compress margins but is expected to encourage
corporate refinancing exercises. We will also continue to monitor credit markets for signs of fragility as the prolonged
repayments assistance measures begin to wind-down.
Moving forward, we will continue to build upon the strategies and initiatives that we began in 2021:
• We will support the growth of ESG-aligned businesses by providing responsible financing. Our sectorial focus will
remain on infrastructure, construction, green energy and power, plantations, healthcare, oil & gas and property
development.
• Acquiring new-to-bank customers and refinancing via Unrated Sukuk Programme.
• Maintain our client coverage approach under the Wholesale Banking initiative.
• Leveraging on existing customers and growing deposits from our portfolio customers.
• Increase our participation in syndicated financing & refinancing of large exposure.
• Strengthening our customer relationships by providing proactive banking services to support their growth potential.

BIMB has practised sustainable finance through its long-standing products and services that encourage Shariah-compliant
banking for businesses and consumers. The Value-based Intermediation Assessment Framework (“VBIAF”) has been a
core reference for BIMB in developing its products and services and providing sustainable banking for all its customers.
In 2021, BIMB committed to further strengthening its sustainable finance implementation by initiating the development
of the ESG Risk Framework. The key aim of the Framework is to incorporate climate-related risks and impacts into
the Group’s overall Risk Management Framework. This project is being carried out over two phases, beginning in 2021
where we carried out an ESG assessment and gap analysis of the existing ESG risk management framework. The project
continues into 2022 where we aim to have a comprehensive ESG Risk Framework that embeds climate risk management
into all aspects of banking including how we extend financing and encourage sustainable banking opportunities towards
all our customer segments.

SUSTAINABILITY
GOVERNANCE
BIMB has developed and implemented a sustainability governance structure to provide oversight and strategic direction
over the Group’s sustainable finance initiatives. While the ESG Risk Framework allows us to effectively identify, manage,
and monitor ESG risk across our business, the Framework is part of an overall Sustainability Plan and Roadmap that
guides our actions as a financial institution in implementing sustainable finance.
The highest implementation committee for BIMB is the Management Sustainability Committee (“MSC”) where the
Group CEO and senior management members are permanent members who are entrusted to implement the Group
Sustainability Plan and Roadmap internally and externally across the various business segments. The MSC reports to
the Board Strategic & Sustainability Committee (“BSSC”) that provides strategic direction and oversight on sustainability.
The Board Risk Committee (“BRC”) and Management Risk Control Committee (“MRCC”) provides oversight and strategic
direction on the Group’s ESG Risk Framework that focuses on how BIMB manages and mitigates key ESG risks and
impacts including climate change, environmental and social risks across its portfolio.
In 2022, further enhancements to the governance structure are planned including the formalisation of Board-level
committees and working groups to ensure implementation of our sustainability commitments are carried out efficiently
across the various business segments.

In developing a framework for managing ESG risk, we engaged with recognised partners to implement a range of
activities to better provide clarity on our ESG risk exposures and determine the most effective ways to monitor and
mitigate these risks.
In 2021, we completed Phase 1 of key activities in implementing the ESG risk framework. By utilising the gap assessments
conducted internally and through our engagement with external stakeholders including investors, NGOs, civil society
and specialised subject matter experts, we have identified the key ESG risks in our internal operations and those that

SUSTAINABLE
FINANCE
BIMB views sustainable finance as a key priority for the Group and has aimed to increase financing of sustainable and
green products and services, while implementing robust controls to manage potential climate and sustainability risk
arising from our provision of banking products and services.
BIMB understands the role that banks need to play in ensuring that positive climate and sustainability outcomes are
realised through our business activities. As key implementers of Shariah-based banking principles, we understand that
long-term sustainability includes caring for the environment and society while supporting businesses and consumers
to achieve their financial goals.
In delivering on our sustainable finance goals, we have prioritised managing and mitigating sustainability risk while

We intend to achieve this by prioritising climate-positive financing across corporate, commercial, SME and
retail financing products and services, including but not limited to areas such as renewable energy, green

power generation, low-emission manufacturing, and others.
2. To manage and limit financing towards carbon-intensive sectors, where we have started by committing
to phase out and end financing of coal-related activities by 2030
We intend to achieve this by identifying carbon-intensive exposures through our financing activities and
develop mitigation plans that will include an orderly transition to improve the climate risk profile of our
financing portfolio. This will include engaging clients to improve their climate policies and commitments to
reduce carbon emissions in sectors including but not limited to oil & gas, mining and quarrying, agriculture,
manufacturing, real estate and construction, and others.
3. To encourage climate-positive initiatives, commitments and projects through our ESG roadmap and
stakeholders engagement
We intend to achieve this by continuing to engage with various stakeholders, including regulators, government,
customers, industry bodies and NGOs on sustainable practices, climate-friendly commitments and targets
and supporting climate-positive projects. This may include engaging with progressive proponents of climate-
friendly strategies including efforts to reduce forest and biodiversity impacts, encourage marine conservation,
improve social outcomes, reduce carbon emissions and align with stronger ESG commitments and practices

In FY2021, BIMB has committed to phase out and end financing of coal-related activities by 2030. BIMB also carried
out deep-dive validation of certain financing cases that were deemed highly material or carrying relatively higher
environmental or social risks.
Agriculture (Palm Oil) Clients involved in agriculture may be involved in specific activities, such as plantation
development or in the entire value chain of palm oil production, including refining and
distribution. BIMB has undertaken ESG due diligence of these customers in view of known risks
in terms of environmental impacts related to potential illegal deforestation, development on
peatland, use of chemicals, loss of biodiversity, and social impacts including labour practices,
health and safety of workers and impacts on local communities and smallholders.
In FY2021, BIMB did not detect major violations relating to environmental and social risks
among the customers assessed. In some cases, there were legacy risks identified but these
were sufficiently managed through time-bound action plans carried out by the customer.
Oil & Gas Clients involved in oil & gas include those that are focused on extractive activities, such as
upstream and those that are involved in downstream refining and distribution. BIMB has
undertaken ESG due diligence of these clients in view of known risks in terms of environmental
impacts on marine biodiversity and resources, carbon emissions, and release of potentially
hazardous waste; and social impacts including health and safety of workers and impacts on
local communities in coastal areas.
In FY2021, BIMB did not detect major violations relating to environmental and social risks
among the customers assessed in this sector.
Heavy Manufacturing Clients involved in heavy manufacturing were chosen based on several material factors
including the environmental impact of the manufactured end-product and the scale and
vicinity of the operations to environmental features including forest, rivers and marine areas,
and its impacts to biodiversity and local communities.
In FY2021, BIMB did not detect major violations relating to environmental and social risks

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE
The CCPT Classification exercise enables financial institutions to understand the extent of their portfolio exposure to
climatic impacts and risks. In line with this, BIMB has obtained an initial view of climatic risk exposure based on the
classification guidance provided by Bank Negara Makaysia. As per the Guiding Principles as stated in the CCPT Guidance
Document, the data is intended to be used to determine areas where opportunities for sustainable financing may arise as
well as sectors or market segments that may be risk-weighted in future to manage and mitigate negative climatic impact.
BIMB is using a combined methodology utilising data and references from multiple sources to form a basis for application
of the CCPT guidelines.
The CCPT aims to introduce a principle-based taxonomy for Financial Institutions (FIs) to assess and categorise
economic activities according to the extent to which the activities meet climate objectives and promote the
transition to a low-carbon economy. The taxonomy also incorporates the consideration of broader environmental
outcomes through the principle of no significant harm, with specific regard to how business operations affect
pollution, biodiversity and resource efficiency. In supporting an orderly transition, the taxonomy recognises
remediation measures and introduces a progressive system of transition categories to acknowledge concrete
efforts and commitments by businesses to adopt sustainable practices.
The CCPT also aims to facilitate standardised classification and reporting of climate-related exposures to support
risk assessments at the institution and systemic levels, strengthen accountability and market transparency, and
encourage financial flows towards supporting climate objectives. FIs can also leverage on the taxonomy in the
design and structuring of green finance solutions and services to accelerate development of green sectors and
activities, and decarbonisation efforts.
BIMB recognises that sustainability data is currently not BIMB’s Interpretation of the CCPT Guidance Document

SUSTAINABLE FINANCE
1. At a transactional level
Including upon origination and extension of credit, investment in financial assets, and structuring of capital market
transactions.
In assessing the climate risk of a transaction, BIMB conducts due diligence of the potential use of proceeds of a
new or existing financing facility. The use of proceeds may be tied to certain GPs based on the climate impact of
the economic activity.
Broad Limitations:
For company (corporate, commercial or SME) financing, this is generally clear for term financing. For
certain financing products where the use of proceeds is tied to working capital requirements that
are not clearly defined at the onset, continuous monitoring at annual review intervals are required
to ensure that the Bank has knowledge on the use of proceeds.
For retail financing, there is generally no provision to limit the use of personal financing, for example,
to certain use cases. Where the Bank has structured certain products, i.e. solar financing for a specific
use case, this may be tied to GP1. In cases where there are no specific use limitations, the financing
is tied to GP3 if no clear environmental harm is identified.
2. At an entity level
Including an overall assessment of a business customer’s sustainability policies, action plans, implementation of
sustainability roadmaps, and issues or incidents related to ESG.
In assessing the climate impact of a business entity, BIMB assesses the customer’s disclosures including, but not
limited to, the following;
Carbon
Emissions
Sustainability Reporting and
Roadmaps Reduction
Targets
120
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
Key Messages Overview Value Creation MD&A Sustainability Leadership Accountability Financial Additional Information
The assessment is conducted based on industry-specific norms and standards especially pertaining to certification
but also including ESG action plans that address the industry-specific impacts of the company’s activities.
The assessment enables BIMB to obtain an overview of the climate impacts of the customer in terms of GP1, 2 and
3 and any remedial activities the customer may carry out in terms of GP4.
Broad Limitations:
For company (corporate, commercial or SME) financing, entity-level policies and action plans are
generally made available by companies with large asset sizes or are public-listed entities that are
required to disclose on sustainability as per regulatory and stakeholder requirements. However, for
most SME and commercial-scale entities, these disclosures may not be visible. Collating data for these
segments entail a much bigger resource-intensive challenge and thus a proxy and model-based
assessment is conducted to determine the applicable GPs.
For retail financing, there is generally little to no data on the personal profile of a customer to apply
the GPs on a similar basis as a business entity. As such, the main assessment conducted on retail
customers is to monitor engagement in prohibited activities and encourage environmentally-friendly
uses where applicable.

We have also cemented our leading position in the fast-growing area of green sukuk. The potential for ESG-rated sukuk
goes well beyond the market for green sukuk, with the emergence of new products such as blue sukuk and transition
sukuk. As companies and governments, increasingly, embrace the sustainability agenda, demand for transition sukuk
that help fund their shift to a decarbonised economic model is expected to grow. With the ASEAN region continuing
to dominate global issuance of ESG sukuk, the Group sees strong potential for further growth in this area.

Supporting Hospitals
The resurgence of COVID-19 cases during the year tested the resilience of the public healthcare system and BIMB
acted to support these vital medical facilities and our frontliners. We supported the immediate needs of COVID-19
hospitals by contributing RM200,000 worth of supplies of vital items such as Personal Protective Equipment
(“PPE”), isolation gowns, hand sanitisers, face masks, boots and head covers to five hospitals across the nation,
which benefitted more than 16,000 individuals. Additionally, we supported a group of five COVID-19 hospitals in
different parts of the country by providing them with the much-needed oxygen regulators as they dealt with
the sharp rise in the number of patients being admitted. Each of the five selected hospitals received 10 oxygen
regulators under our Prihatin COVID-19 initiative. BIMB also donated RTK COVID-19 test kits to Hospital USM in
Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, which benefitted 300 members of B-40 families who needed to remain at the hospital
to look after loved ones.

Throughout what remained a challenging year for many, Bank Islam actively worked to share benefits with those
in society who are less fortunate and with those who continue to serve on the frontlines of the pandemic. In
the holy month of Ramadan, we distributed Iftar packed food for 750 frontliners from the police force, the fire
brigade, the National Cancer Institute and the armed forces as an expression of our gratitude for their service.
We also channelled contributions to other groups in society that had been affected by the pandemic:
• BIMB’s Sadaqa House social finance vehicle continued to play its part in supporting the vulnerable by
making collections from the public that were channelled to asnaf who are directly affected by COVID-19.
In total, Sadaqa House distributed RM201,262 in partnership with JAKIM and PERKIM.
• A total of RM50,000 from Sadaqa House and our CSR fund was contributed to the Ministry of Defence
(“MINDEF”) Prihatin Fund to support members of the B-40 group and military veterans who were impacted
by COVID-19. A total of 300 food baskets were distributed to needy armed forces families across Malaysia.
• We contributed RM100,000 to a joint initiative between Kelab Bank Islam (“KBI”) and YADIM to provide
support to 366 asnaf, both Muslim and non-Muslim, nationwide. The beneficiaries included a wide range
of people whose livelihoods had been impacted by the pandemic, including taxi drivers, buskers, artists
and trishaw drivers. We also provided support to vulnerable groups like single mothers, the disabled, and
mualaf. Each of them received a food basket worth RM100 and RM150 in cash.
• We donated RM12,000 to provide packs of essential food items to 150 B-40 families residing at the PPR
Seri Mulia flats to ease their burden during the pandemic.

Under our Jejak AMAL initiative which supports sustainable agriculture, we made an essential contribution to
a farmer to help him start a hydroponic & fertigation project with Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan Maras Batu
Rakit. BIMB provided the seeds, saplings, fertiliser and farm equipment, with the training and coaching provided
by LPP Terengganu. We carried out the project in cooperation with Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan Maras Batu
Rakit.
Additionally, on the island community of Tanjung Surat in Johor, we successfully worked to provide a community
of underprivileged fishermen families with access to renewable solar energy for their boat houses.
We have also continued to raise public awareness of environmental issues through social media and direct
engagement. In January, for example, our ‘Interesting Facts about Hydroponics’ post on Facebook and Instagram
rapidly gained attention, crossing the 40,000 views mark. We also continued to use our social media presence
to raise awareness of events like Earth Day and World Environment Day. On the direct engagement front, we

As many members of society continued to feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, BIMB continued to support
our frontliners and vulnerable members of society, both through direct donations and by working to share benefits
and goodwill.
Under our AMAL Ihtimam Ramadan 2021, we made cash contributions to 20 asnaf during a bubur lambuk distribution
event at the Masjid Jamek Kampung Baru, as well as making a RM5,000 zakat contribution to the mosque itself.
We also distributed a further 4,500 packets of bubur lambuk to frontliners, members of the public, BIMB staff and
members of the media during the holy month. Additionally, we shared the joy with 1,500 students and staff at the
Islamic Centre of USM by contributing to an Iftar event at the university.
We also facilitated the provision of canopies and other needed equipment to the Surau Ahmad Dawjee Dhadabhoy
(“SWADD”) during the month of Ramadan. The Group had supported the Iftar Fest @ SWADD since 2018. Due to the
strict COVID-19 related SOPs, a total of 300 Iftar food packs were distributed daily to KL city workers to break their fast.

The Board safeguards value-creation and plays a critical role in setting the right tone at the top. The Board ensures that
the strategic plan of the Group supports long-term value creation and includes strategies on economic, environmental,
social and governance (ESG) considerations thereby strengthening the integration of sustainability in the Group’s operations.
The Board is guided by the Board Charter in discharging its duties and responsibilities effectively. The Board Charter sets
out the principles and guidelines that are to be applied by the Board. The Board Charter authorises the Board to delegate
the exercise of its powers to Board Committees. The delegation of authority as set out in the Board Charter is clear and
ensures that the line of authority is in line with the legal and regulatory requirements.
The delegation does not absolve the Directors from their duty to supervise the discharge of the delegated acts.
The Board Charter is reviewed and updated from time to time to reflect relevant changes to the policies, procedures
and processes as well as amendments to rules and regulations to ensure the document remains relevant and consistent
with the applicable rules and regulations and recommended best practices.
Aside from clearly identifying the respective roles and responsibilities of the Board, its Committees and Management
and what is expected of them in terms of commitment, the Board Charter outlines the issues and decisions reserved
for the Board.
The Board Charter and the Terms of Reference (TORs) of the Board and the Board Committees are available on BIMB’s

The Board has identified the following key areas for future priority:-
1. Effective delivery of key strategic priorities which are developed based on the six (6) strategic pillars; namely Sustainable
Prosperity, Values-based Culture, Community Empowerment, Customer Centricity, Real Economy and Digitalisation.
2. Addressing sustainability risks in an integrated and strategic manner to support BIMB’s long-term strategy.
3. Implementing effective succession planning for the NEDs and Senior Management within the Group.
Board Leadership
An effective Board is key to the establishment and delivery of a company’s strategy. The Board therefore continually seeks
to improve its effectiveness by providing direction to the Management, demonstrating ethical stewardship and creating a
performance culture that drives value-creation among others. Through effective leadership and overall oversight of
Management, the Board ensures robust monitoring of performance and conformance capabilities in the organisation.
All Board members discharge their duties and responsibilities at all times as fiduciaries in the best interest of BIMB. They
act with integrity, led by example, exercise their powers for a proper purpose and in good faith. In directing or managing
BIMB’s business and affairs, they exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence by applying their knowledge, skill and experience.
Imperative to the Board’s oversight responsibility is its commitment to the Group’s long-term strategy and agenda for the
integration of sustainability into the Group’s corporate strategy governance and decision-making. Together with Management,
the Board takes responsibility for the governance of sustainability in the Group.
The Board is entrusted with the overall governance of BIMB, the responsibility to exercise reasonable and proper care of
BIMB’s resources in the best interests of its shareholders as well as to safeguard its assets. The Board directs and oversees
the business and affairs of the Group by periodically reviewing and approving the overall strategies and significant policies
of the Group. In discharging its collective responsibilities, the Board provides BIMB with stewardship, counsel and a broad
range of expertise to the Management, champions good governance, high ethical standards and practices.
The Directors are aware of their collective and individual responsibilities to the shareholders for the manner in which the
affairs of BIMB are managed, controlled and operated. Based on the results of the Board Effectiveness Evaluation 2021, the
Board is satisfied that it has fulfilled these duties and obligations during the financial year under review.
The Board acknowledges that the long-term success of the Group and continued relevance hinge on the prosperity and
trust of the communities it serves and the well-being of the environment it operates in. This is crucial to the Board due
to the increasing impact of sustainability and the ability of the Group to create sustainable value and maintain the confidence
of its stakeholders. The Board remains committed to improving the Group’s sustainability practices beyond the minimum
regulatory requirements.
The Board has been closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and the Group’s financial performance
since its onset in 2020. The pandemic presents to the Board a complex new reality that changes the governance model
which has guided the Board and Management through the years. New pressures and demands from stakeholder groups
together with the general welfare of the Group’s employees were some of the challenges the pandemic presented.
165
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
The above roles and responsibilities are clearly set out in the Board Charter.
The Board comprises eleven (11) Directors as of the date of this Statement.
An effective Board is important to the long-term prospects and strategic objectives of BIMB. This is made possible through
a strong, transparent and open working relationship between the Directors.
The Board’s size ensures that the purpose, involvement and participation of the Directors are not jeopardised and that
it achieves the correct balance to realise BIMB’s strategic objectives. Additionally, it ensures diversity and inclusiveness
in views and perspectives as well as facilitates sound decision-making and constructive deliberation during meetings.
The balance on the Board ensures that no individual or small group of Directors can dominate the decision-making
process and that the interests of the shareholders are protected.
During the financial year 2021, the Board also approved the policy on the maximum age of director, which is capped at
70 years. This is to preserve the effectiveness of a director in discharging his/her duties and responsibilities.
The Board saw changes to its composition during the financial year under review with four (4) new appointments to the
Board. The Board welcomed Dato’ Sri Amrin Awaluddin as a Non-Independent Executive Director on 10 September 2021,
Mohd Asri Awang as an Independent Non-Executive Director on 1 October 2021, Nuraini Ismail and Datuk Bazlan Osman
as Independent Non-Executive Directors on 7 January 2022.

During the financial year also, Zahari @ Mohd Zin Idris retired as a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director on 20
September 2021, after serving BIMB for 19 years. During his tenure with BIMB, Zahari @ Mohd Zin Idris demonstrated
his dedication and commitment in discharging his role as BIMB’s director.
It was with sadness that the Board bade farewell to Noraini Che Dan who passed away on 26 August 2021. The late
Noraini Che Dan, who joined BIMB on 1 October 2016, was a valuable member of the Board. She had served the Board
with great commitment and was a strong advocate of good governance.
Following the above new appointments, the Board now comprises as follows:
All Board members are persons of high integrity and calibre with diverse professional backgrounds, sound knowledge
and understanding of BIMB’s business and provide a diversity of breadth in demographics, skills and experience.
Eight (8) of the NEDs, including the Chairman, are independent, in line with the requirements of the BNM CG Policy.
The Independent NEDs play a significant role in bringing objectivity and scrutiny to the Board’s deliberations and decision-
making. All Directors must exercise their judgement independently at all times, irrespective of status. Whilst there are
three (3) non-independent directors, i.e., two (2) being non-executive and one (1) an Executive Director, the two (2)
NINED were initially Independent Directors but one (1) was re-designated due to long tenure beyond nine (9) years and
the other was re-designated due to an executive position that he held and subsequently relinquished in a related company.
The NIED does not hold an executive position in BIMB. He is designated as a NIED by virtue of the Islamic Financial
Services Act 2013. Hence these NINED and NIED similarly serve the Board and play a role to ensure decisions are made
in the best interest of BIMB.
The profile of each member of the Board is presented on pages 137 to 142 of this Integrated Annual Report.
Board Committees
As part of its efforts to ensure the effective discharge of its duties, the Board has delegated certain functions to Board
Committees with their TOR. The delegation of power does not absolve the Directors from the duty to supervise the
discharge of the delegated acts. The Directors are aware that they cannot leave the management of BIMB’s affairs to
these Committees without committing a breach of duty and that they remain responsible for the exercise of such powers.
The functions and TORs of Board Committees as well as authority delegated by the Board to these Committees are
reviewed from time to time to ensure that they remain relevant and are up-to-date.
The activities of the BAEC, BRC, BNRC, BFRC, BSSC and BITC during the financial year under review can be found in the

In ensuring the transparency and integrity of decision-making, Directors are required to immediately declare if they have
any interest in transactions that are to be entered into directly or indirectly with BIMB. They must disclose the extent

meetings to report and advise the Board on matters pertinent to their respective areas of responsibility.
In the event a Director is unable to attend a meeting, his/her views are sought in advance and put to the meeting to
facilitate a comprehensive discussion. Essentially, each Director, therefore, makes himself/herself available to fellow Directors

Directors’ Remuneration
BIMB’s remuneration structure for Directors which is aligned with our strategic objectives, allows us to attract, motivate
and retain high calibre talent. The design of our fees architecture complies with regulatory requirements, and embraces
market practices and trends.
The Board has established a formal and transparent Directors’ Remuneration Framework which comprises directors’ fees,
sitting fees and benefits-in-kind. A review of the Directors’ remuneration is carried out every three (3) years to ensure
that it remains relevant and competitive with the industry. During the period under review, there was no revision to the
Directors’ remuneration of BIMB. The remuneration framework for the NEDs is as follows:-
Details of Directors’ remuneration during the year under review are as follows:
Notes:

Remuneration Policy for Senior Management Team (SMTs) and Material Risk Takers (MRTs)
The Board is of the view that the disclosure of the remuneration of the top five (5) Senior Management on a named
basis in bands of RM50,000 as required under Practice 8.2 of MCCG 2021 is not in BIMB’s best interest considering the
competitive market for talent in the industry. The top five (5) remuneration of SMTs and MRTs (including the Group CEO)
during the financial year 2021 falling within the following bands are as follows:
The remuneration policy for SMTs/MRTs applies to all SMTs and MRTs within BIMB promotes transparent and adequate
remuneration. The Policy sets forth appropriate governance around the Total Rewards of BIMB’s SMTs/MRTs for their
contributions to BIMB, taking into account their roles and responsibilities from the perspective of performance excellence,
risk management, compliance and sustainability.

B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
Mechanism Approach
Total Cash Benchmark Variable Pay in the form of Performance Bonus or equivalent Short-Term Incentive
may be awarded to BIMB’s SMTs/MRTs as compensation for driving superior
performance throughout the performance year or term of employment (Full-
Term Contract or otherwise gainfully employed).
Determination of Amount Deferred The deferment of payment of a portion of variable pay will be adopted in view
of managing any financial risk associated with SMTs/MRTs compensation, while
adhering to necessary compliance with legislations set forth by BNM.
Pool Setting Approach Funding of the BIMB’s determined Variable Pay and the subsequent Cash Deferral
for the SMTs/MRTs, where applicable, is simulated taking into account market
competitiveness, funding rates and overall affordability.
Mandatory deferral – Bonuses (short-term incentives) can be deferred over time subject to forfeiture or adjustment.
Bonus Malus – Refers to the part of the deferred bonus that has not yet been paid out and can be ‘reclaimed’ because,
for example, an acquisition’s due diligence is not carried out thoroughly.
Clawback – This is applied to a bonus that has already been paid out. It can be reclaimed by the employer in, for example,
cases of gross negligence or non-compliance.
The breakdown of the total amount of remuneration awards in respect of SMTs and MRTs (including the Group CEO) in
2021 is as follows:

Code of Conduct
In accordance with its Code of Conduct, SSC members are expected to possess good character, competence, diligence
and capability of making sound judgment. To ensure the quality and consistency of the decisions, the SSC has formulated
the Methodology and Means of Decision Making to arrive to a decision on a given issue by applying the usul fiqh discipline
and making reference to Shariah standards, fatwa and resolutions of Shariah authority councils and fiqh academies. It
also enables the SSC and BIMB to review previous decisions at the request of BIMB or on its own initiative.
The Management works with the SSC to ensure that all business activities, products, services and operations of BIMB
are in compliance with Shariah rules and principles. While the SSC is responsible for forming and expressing decisions
on BIMB’s compliance with Shariah, the ultimate responsibility for compliance rests with the Management. Therefore, it
is the responsibility of BIMB to perform including but not limited to the following:
establish a management structure and reporting arrangement that provides a clear scope of accountability
between the business lines and the internal control functions that are involved in managing Shariah
non-compliance risks, including the accountability of the senior officer’s leading Shariah related functions;
implement effective Shariah governance policies, procedures and practices;
implement the rulings of the SAC of BNM and the decision or advice of the SSC;
implement an effective communication policy that supports a sound understanding of Shariah matters
across BIMB;
conduct regular assessment to evaluate the quality of operational support provided to the SSC and
address any inadequacies arising thereof; and
report to the Board and SSC on a timely basis any potential or actual Shariah non-compliance events.
The Board, on the recommendation of the BNRC, decides on the appointment and re-appointment of the SSC members,
subject to BNM’s written approval. The Board ensures that the SSC members have the necessary credibility, integrity and
calibre and the required skills and knowledge.
The appointment and re-appointment of the SSC members is subject to the Fit and Proper Criteria adopted by BIMB
as required by paragraph 12 of the SGPD and Fit and Proper policy document issued by BNM.

are also attended by one (1) Director, the Group CEO, the Group Chief Financial Officer, the Group Chief Internal Auditor,
the Group Chief Compliance Officer, the Group Chief Financial Inclusion Officer, Head of Operational Risk and Head of
Product Management as permanent invitees. Their presence at the meetings improves the quality of engagement
between the Board and Management members with SSC members, and increases their appreciation towards Shariah
deliberations and decisions. However, the Board members’ presence does not affect the independent deliberation by the
SSC members in their informed decision making. The Board receives regular updates on significant matters deliberated
during the SSC meetings and minutes of the SSC meetings are circulated to the Board.
Training
In line with Section 6 of the SSC Charter, SSC members undergo continuous training to keep abreast with the development
in the banking industry and enhance their skills and knowledge in discharging their responsibilities effectively.
During the financial year under review, two (2) SSC members were participating in the Certified Shariah Advisor program
(CSA) awarded by the Association of Shariah Advisors in Islamic Finance Malaysia (ASAS). The certification is commissioned
by BNM to motivate professionalism among Shariah advisors. This initiative by ASAS was mentioned in the Malaysian
Financial Blueprint 2011-2020 under Agenda 3.2 to develop Malaysia as reference centre for Islamic financial transactions.

Remuneration
The remuneration structure for the SSC members is sufficient to attract, retain and remunerate for their contribution to
BIMB. The remuneration structure takes into consideration the relevant factors which include the function, workload,
responsibilities and time spent for the preparation of the SSC meetings. A higher rate (premium) is given to the Chairman
of the SSC in view of his additional role in guiding and managing the SSC. The remuneration includes monthly fees,
meeting allowances and other benefits such as training fund.
SSC Evaluation
In line with paragraph 9.6 of the SGPD and Section 7 of the SSC Charter, SSC evaluation is carried out annually to assess
the performance and effectiveness of the SSC members whether they deliver and support a sound Shariah governance
system. This includes the SSC Peer Evaluation, SSC Collective Assessment and Internal Evaluation by the appointed
management members being permanent invitees to the SSC meeting.
The assessment looks into among others at aspects such as SSC composition, meeting operations, training adequacy,
accessibility, understanding of roles and responsibilities, interaction, productivity and quality in contribution, etc.
The results of the assessments are tabled and reviewed in the BNRC meeting prior to deliberation in the Board meeting.
CONCLUSION
The Board considers that BIMB has complied and applied the Principles of the MCCG 2021 during the financial year,
except for the following:-
Practice 4.4 : Performance evaluations of the board and senior management include a review of the
performance of the board and senior management in addressing the company’s material
sustainability risks and opportunities.
Practice 5.9 : The board comprises at least 30% women directors.
Practice 8.2 : The board discloses on a named basis the top five senior management’s remuneration
component including salary, bonus, benefits-in-kind and other emoluments in bands of
RM50,000.
Practice 13.1 : Notice for an Annual General Meeting should be given to the shareholders at least 28 days
prior to the meeting.
The Board has identified those Practices where there is a departure and this departure will be addressed as follows:
184
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
Key Messages Overview Value Creation MD&A Sustainability Leadership Accountability Financial Additional Information
Practice 4.4
BIMB is just embarking upon our sustainability journey. BIMB in its 5-year strategic direction has put in place a plan to
embed ESG incorporating climate risk in credit assessment process and endeavors to put in place a broad-based framework
before the end of 2022. BIMB has also embarked to put in place a bankwide Sustainability Plan.
Practice 5.9
The Board currently comprises eleven (11) Directors, of whom two (2) is a woman, or 18% female representation.
The Board is mindful of appointing Directors who have diverse skills, experience, age and gender, and remains committed
to achieving at least 30% female representation on the Board whilst ensuring that overall diversity remains a central
feature.
The Board is taking the necessary steps to have at least 30% woman directors. The succession plan include consideration
to achieve more representation of woman directors.
Practice 8.2
The Board decided not to disclose on a named basis, the top five (5) Senior Management’s remuneration components
including salary, bonus, benefit-in-kind and other emoluments in bands of RM50,000. The Board viewed that such
disclosure would be disadvantageous to the Group’s business interests, in which the disclosure of that sensitive information
may result in excessive competition for talent in the banking industry.
The Company will closely monitor developments in the market in respect of such disclosure for future consideration.
Practice 13.1
BIMB’s 38th Annual General Meeting (38th AGM) was held on 31 May 2021. The Notice of the 38th AGM was issued to the

INTRODUCTION
This Statement has been made in line with the Statement on Risk Management & Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors
of Listed Issuers.
The Board is committed and acknowledges its responsibility to oversee the system of risk management and internal
controls within the Group, including reviewing the adequacy, integrity and effectiveness to safeguard shareholders’
investments and the Group’s assets. In anticipation of the listing of BIMB where it became the Bank Holding Company,
BIMB has established a Group Harmonisation Committee that has carried out the initiatives to streamline and strengthen
the group governance practices including the risk management and internal controls within the Group. Such initiatives
enable BIMB to have an oversight of the subsidiaries within the Group.
The Board has received assurance from BIMB’s Group CEO and the Group Chief Financial Officer that the Group’s risk
management and internal control systems are operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects, during the
financial year under review and up to the date of this Statement.
Taking into consideration assurances from the Management and the input from the relevant assurance providers, the
Board is of the view that the systems of risk management and internal control are performing satisfactorily and are
adequate to safeguard the shareholders’ investments, customers’ interest and the Group’s assets. The Group will continue
to implement new measures to strengthen its internal control and risk management environment.
193
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
BOARD RESPONSIBILITY
The Board affirms its overall responsibility and oversight in establishing a sound risk management and internal control
system in the Group as well as reviewing its adequacy, integrity, and effectiveness. Such a system is designed to manage
the Group’s risk appetite within the established risk tolerance set by the Board and the Management, minimising the
risk of failure rather than total elimination of risks to achieve the Group’s business objectives. Acknowledging that the
system only provides reasonable and not absolute assurance against the occurrence of any material misstatement, loss
or fraud; controls and processes have been put in place to contain the limitations inherent in the system such as human
error and potential impact of external events beyond the Management’s control.
The Board constantly keeps abreast with the developments in areas of risk and governance. The Board is assisted by the
Board Risk Committee (BRC) which has been delegated with the primary oversight responsibilities on the Group’s risk
management and internal control systems. The Board is also supported by the Board Audit & Examination Committee
(BAEC) which provides independent oversight of the Group’s reporting process and internal control systems that facilitates
appropriate checks and balances within the Group. Periodic summary reports are provided by the Committees to keep
the Board informed of their work, key deliberations and decisions on delegated matters.
The Board is of the view that the internal control framework that has been instituted throughout BIMB is sufficient to
safeguard the shareholder’s investment, customers’ interest and BIMB’s assets. The governance structure established
further ensures that there is effective oversight of risks and internal controls in the Group at all levels. The Board remains
responsible for the governance of risk and internal control, as well as all the actions of the Board Committees with regard
to the execution of the delegated oversight responsibilities. Reviews are continuously carried out to ensure effectiveness
of the system. The Group regularly reviews and improves all controls, processes and response plan arising from the
challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and any other emerging risks that may arise.
The Group has established processes to ensure the adequacy and integrity of its internal control system and manage
the existing and potential risks with control and governance processes.
MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
The Management is accountable to the Board and is overall responsible for the effective implementation of the Board’s
policies and procedures on risk management and internal control. This is done by identifying and evaluating the risks
faced by the Group and designing, operating and monitoring the risk management and internal control system to
mitigate and control risks for consideration by the Board. This includes taking appropriate and timely corrective actions
as required. The Management has assured the Board that the Group’s risk management and internal control systems
are operating adequately and effectively, in all material aspects, based on the risk management framework and internal
control systems adopted by the Group.

Risk Appetite
The risk appetite defines the levels of risk that the Group is willing to assume within its risk capacity. It is a critical
component of the Group’s ERM Framework, which enables the Board and Management at all levels to communicate,
understand and assess the types and levels of risks that the Group is willing to accept in pursuit of its strategic and
business goals while taking into consideration the constraints under a stressed environment. The Group’s risk appetite
has been integrated into its Corporate Direction and Business Plan and remains dynamic and responsive to the changing
external and internal drivers such as the business and market conditions. It is determined based on the following elements:

The Group takes steps to ensure that trigger levels, limit structures and delegated authorities are re-aligned, and potential
risk appetite implications are considered in all major resource allocation decisions. In setting the risk appetite of the
Group and to enhance the Group’s risk adjusted returns, the discussion of risks is from the point of view of optimising
the Group’s risk-return profile instead of ‘loss minimising’.
Guided by these principles, our risk appetite is articulated through a set of Risk Appetite Statements across the Group
to ultimately balance the strategic objectives of the Group.

COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Financial Crime Compliance (FCC)
BIMB addresses and tackles financial crimes by developing typologies and red flags for financial flows, training frontline
staff to identify potential suspicious transactions, and participating in public-private partnerships to share intelligence
and good practices.
BIMB has established comprehensive controls to anticipate, prevent, detect and respond to any money laundering and
terrorist financing activities. The AML/CFT policy outlines the roles and responsibilities and clear accountability of the
Board of Directors, Senior Management and its employees.
We actively contribute to the industry by taking lead in various initiative including preparing a Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) for Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) process. BIMB continues to support the industry combating financial
crime by conducting training and providing certification to compliance officers across the industry on financial crime
risks and AML topics.
To mitigate the risk of financial crime, particularly money laundering, BIMB established several monitoring rules which
are designed to identify and investigate transactions of potential crime. In 2021, we adopted technology in addressing
financial crime by leveraging the Robotic Process Automation. To further improve the quality of transaction monitoring,
FCC Department applied a Standard Deviation approach in AML System aiming to improve the analyst productivity and
reduce false positive.
Addressing AML risk does not stop at the Bank level only. As part of managing money laundering/terrorist financing risk

strategic alliance was achieved with the other internal control functions, i.e., Shariah Risk Management

appropriate mitigation measures.
Becomes the reference point in performing an in-depth review and/or investigation on any reported
incidents that may give implications to the Shariah compliance status of the Bank’s operations,
business, affairs and activities. The decision is crucial as the result will determine the state of purity
of the income to be further recognised by the Bank. The process involves scrutinising the details of
the issues raised and proposing remedial action plan which may entail corrective and preventive
measures.

the Shariah governance and control functions was established via series of Shariah Townhall. The
programme served as a catalyst to heighten the awareness level and intensify compliance with the
current and relevant Shariah rules and regulations so as to curb any possible SNC event.
In view of the hardship faced by Malaysians due to the COVID-19 pandemic and recent floods, BNM’s
focus will be towards championing the plight formulising measures to aid the impacted sectors.
BIMB will continue to develop its products and services to suit our customers’ need including catering
for unserved/underserved market by improving our digital outreach. We remain vigilant in disseminating
the regulations given by BNM to ensure BIMB’s strategies are in tandem with the National Agenda.
While outsourcing is necessary for operational efficiency, we continue to instil strict governance in
reviewing each outsourcing party to uphold the zero tolerance principle particularly on corruption,
bribery and adverse media. Effective collaboration with our service providers will create synergy and
improve our service deliveries and spurring “Real Economy” as part of our VBI initiatives.
In safeguarding customers’ information and data, we have instilled the Compliance Culture by
creating awareness amongst our staff and service providers on the importance of preserving banking
secrecy and confidentiality. Any incidents are detected through our review process and thoroughly
investigated to ensure the appropriate remedial actions are taken to avoid recurrence. We do not
tolerate any unethical practices and any transgression are severely dealt with by imposing consequence
management action to the parties involved.

As reported in the preceding annual report, the Group has completed its maiden CRM exercise in FY2020 in which the
Group has zero critical risks identified and, overall, the residual corruption risks were rated as satisfactory without any
major concerns. Since the completion of CRM, the Group has formalised the CRM framework into a holistic policy known
as the Group Corruption Risk Management Policy (GCRMP) in FY2021.
In brief, the GCRMP provides the principles and methodology for carrying out the corruption risk assessment for the
Group and sets out the CRM review requirement. The policy reflects the Group’s commitment to upholding the highest
standards of integrity and ethics, in keeping with the Group’s zero-tolerance stance to all types of bribery and corruption,
as well as a commitment to conducting business with integrity, honesty, and respect.
CRM Review
The Group, through the Governance & Integrity Unit (GIU) of the Integrity & Governance Department (IGD), Group

The National Anti-Corruption Plan 2019-2023 (NACP), which was officially launched by the Prime Minister on 29 January
2019 suggested OACP as an anti-corruption document at the organisational level to manage corruption issues. In 2021,
BIMB continued to undertake significant work to enhance its corporate governance and integrity initiatives to be in line
with the NACP. The work culminated in the development of BIMB’s OACP, 2022-2025, which will serve as the foundation
for all BIMB’s initiatives in this area in the coming years.
01 02 03 04 05
It is important to establish the ‘tone from the top’ where BIMB implemented clear policies to address corruption risks
and proper reporting channels for any suspected and/or actual corruption incidents. IGD also carried out data analysis
and CRM exercise to identify potential risk and weakness which may lead to occurrence of corruption activities in the
organisation. Subsequently, IGD, through its role as the OACP Development Committee (ODC) Secretariat conducted
discussions with the potential corruption risk owners, relevant departments and stakeholders to develop strategic objectives
and clear action plans to address these potential corruption, governance and integrity issues. Benchmarking exercises
against ministries, government agencies and other corporations were also carried out to ensure BIMB’s OACP is relevant
and achieves the highest level of standard expected from a premier financial institution.

the NACP. This plan will be constantly reviewed and updated according to BIMB’s changes and organisation strategic
requirements.
Three (3) IGD staff have also completed the Certified Integrity Officer (CeIO) programme administered by the Malaysian
Anti-Corruption Commission Academy (MACA). Briefings, workshops and awareness programmes on integrity, anti-corruption
initiatives and the Bank’s internal policies are consistently carried out to cover all levels of operation at BIMB.
It is hoped that the OACP will minimise misconduct involving integrity and corruption among BIMB staff, creating a
work environment that emphasises team spirit, harmony, morality, ethics and having a first-class mind. In turn, the
continuous improvement of our processes and procedures will increase customer confidence in our services for the
common well-being and prosperity. BIMB will continue to be vigilant to ensure our processes and practices foster good

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 December 2021
DIRECTORS’ BENEFITS
Since the end of the previous financial year, no Director of the Bank has received nor become entitled to receive any
benefit (other than those fees and other benefits included in the aggregate amount of remuneration received or due and
receivable by Directors as shown in the Note 32 to financial statements or the fixed salary of a full time employee of the
Bank) by reason of a contract made by the Bank or a related corporation with the Director or with a firm of which the
Director is a member, or with a firm in which the Director has a substantial financial interest.
There were no arrangements during and at the end of the financial year which had the object of enabling Directors of
the Bank to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of the Bank or any other body
corporate.
In previous financial year, through the former immediate holding company, BIMB Holdings Berhad has maintained a
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Takaful for the Directors and Officers of BIMB Holdings and its subsidiaries (excluding
Syarikat Takaful Malaysia Keluarga Berhad and its subsidiaries) of up to an aggregate limit of RM50 million against any
legal liability incurred by the Directors and Officers in the discharge of their duties while holding the office. The Directors
and Officers shall not be indemnified by such takaful for any deliberate negligence, fraud, intentional breach of law or
breach of trust proven against them. The amount of premium paid was RM231,372 with certain reimbursement made by
the Directors and Officers.

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances that would render the amount written-off for
bad financing, or amount of impairment provisions for impaired financing in the financial statements of the Group and of
the Bank, inadequate to any substantial extent.
Current assets
Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to
ascertain that any current assets, other than financing, which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of
business at their values as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Bank have been written down to
their estimated realisable value.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances that would render the values attributed to the
current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank to be misleading.
Valuation methods
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which would render
adherence to the existing methods of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Bank to be misleading or
inappropriate.
(a) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Bank which has arisen since the end of the financial year and which
secures the liabilities of any other person, or
(b) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Bank that has arisen since the end of the financial year other
than those incurred in the ordinary course of business.
No contingent or other liability of any company in the Group has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable
within the period of twelve months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may
substantially affect the ability of the Group and of the Bank to meet their obligations as and when they fall due.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 December 2021
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction
or event of a material and unusual nature, likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of the Group or of the
Bank for the current financial year in which this report is made.
The domestic banking sector is expected to stay resilient in 2022 amid the challenges of the Covid pandemic. Even as
impairments begin to surface in the coming year, credit losses will be amply cushioned by healthy earnings accretion,
comfortable provisioning buffers and solid capitalisation. Driven by household segment with mortgages as the main driver,
overall sentiments shall remain positive for banking sector with continued support to viable consumers facing temporary
financial difficulties through repayment assistance packages. In addition, Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) has released a new
five-year Financial Services Blueprint 2022 – 2026 in January this year. The blueprint is anchored on 4 key thrusts in
fostering greater market dynamism and advancing the sustainability agenda to support the transition towards a greener
economy.
We have gone into the first year of LEAP25. Our 5-year aspiration of LEAP25 is to increase the asset size and ESG-rated
financing assets, reduce Cost-to-Income ratio, sustain superior industry Return-to-Equity (“ROE”), increase our non-fund
based income (“NFBI”) contribution, create positive social impact and retain high-performing talents. The Bank’s targets are
anchored by the six pillars namely Sustainable Prosperity, Value Based Culture, Community Empowerment, Customer
Centricity, Real Economy and Digitalisation.
Gearing up for 2022 as the economy moves into the recovery period, the Bank will be focusing on the goal and ensuring
effective execution of our strategies. Our customers will always be at the heart of our strategy execution. Cost rationalisation
will remain our focus and spending will be allocated to our priority areas.

Subsequent the completion of the restructuring in Q4 2021, the Bank has become the first pure-play full-fledged Islamic
financial institution listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia. Consequently, the Bank will have access to a wider and
more diverse capital base, allowing for a greater opportunity for future expansion programmes and business growth.

‘Salam Sejahtera’
In carrying out the roles and responsibilities of the Shariah Supervisory Council (SSC) as prescribed in the Shariah
Governance Policy Document (SGPD) issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), and in compliance with our letter of
appointment, we hereby submit our report for the financial year ended 31 December 2021.
The Bank’s management ensures that its conducts, operations, business, affairs, and activities follow the relevant Shariah
rules and principles. Our responsibility is to form an independent opinion based on the review of conduct and businesses
of the Bank in producing this report.
We had convened nine (9) meetings during the financial year in which we reviewed, among others, products, transactions,
services, processes and documents of the Bank.
In performing our roles and responsibilities, we had obtained all the information and explanations which we considered
necessary in providing us with sufficient evidence to give a reasonable assurance that the Bank has complied with the
applicable Shariah rules and principles.
At the management level, the Group Chief Shariah Officer (cum Secretary of the SSC), who functionally reports to the SSC,
oversees the conduct and effectiveness of Group Shariah Division’s (GSD) functions that carry out the roles and
responsibilities related to the Shariah secretariat, research and advisory. The control functions further confirm the Bank’s
Shariah governance comprising of Shariah Risk Management, Shariah Compliance and Shariah Audit that resides in the
Group Risk Management Division, Group Compliance Division, and Group Internal Audit Division, and reports directly to
the Group Chief Risk Officer, Group Chief Compliance Officer, and Group Chief Internal Auditor respectively.
The following are the significant developments that took place during the financial year, which reside under our purview:
APPROVALS
To ensure smooth and timely execution of our business operation, we empower the Group Chief Shariah Officer (GCSO)
and Senior Manager of Group Shariah Division to approve a non-substantial variation of Shariah related matters. The
approvals are then reported to us periodically as notification. Concurrently, the GCSO or his representative is also sitting
as a member in the following committees to advise the Bank on matters relating to Shariah rules and principles:
i) Management Committee;
ii) Sadaqa House and Zakat Committee (Vice Chairman);
iii) Management Risk Control Committee;
iv) Operational Risk Control Committee;
v) Underwriting and Investment Committee;
vi) Product Development Oversight Steering Committee;

vii) Rescheduling & Restructuring Oversight Committee;
viii) Financing Committee A;
ix) Financing Committee B;
x) iTEKAD Asnaf Assessment Committee; and
xi) Tender Evaluation Committee for Vendor Management.
SHARIAH GOVERNANCE
We had approved in our meetings several initiatives undertaken by the Bank in strengthening its Shariah governance,
including the review of the Shariah Compliance Policy and Shariah Compliance Guideline of Bank Islam Labuan Offshore
Branch (BILOB), Charity Fund Management Guideline and Business Zakat Guideline for subsidiaries, i.e. Farihan Corporation
Sdn Bhd and Al-Wakalah Nominees (Tempatan) Sdn. Bhd. that aims, among others, to set out the Shariah governance
framework within the Bank and ensure our business operations are in line with the Shariah rules and principles.
Firstly, the implementation of Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) aims to assess the significance of identified SNC risks
and the effectiveness of the controls in the respective functional areas.
Since the introduction of RCSA, a continuous process of identifying and assessing SNC risks at various functional areas
have been carried out by all Risk Controllers (RCs). The RCs are also responsible for driving and implementing appropriate
controls to mitigate any SNC events while achieving the business objectives of their respective areas. The semi-annually
RCSA result, specifically the SNC risk exposures of the Bank, is also tabled in the Management Risk Control Committee
and our meetings for monitoring and oversight purposes.
Secondly, this year we continue our initiatives in establishing checklists to assist frontliners and relevant functions in
managing SNC. For instance, in 2020, the Bank established the Shariah Related Complaint Checklist to guide complaint
handlers and product owners to identify Shariah-related complaints lodged by customers. This year, the Bank has
extended the initiative by establishing the Shariah Non-Compliant Issues Checklist to identify Shariah related litigation
cases.
Finally, the Operational Risk Integrated System (ORIS) launch covers the Shariah compliance elements on top of
Operational Risk and Business Continuity Management. This platform can manage risk profiles for all business and
support units more effectively, thus reducing the probability of SNC or Shariah-related events.

Both Shariah Review and Shariah Audit plans for the financial year were reviewed and approved by us for their
implementation. Their reports were deliberated in our meetings to confirm that the Bank has complied with the applicable
rulings issued by the Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) of Bank Negara Malaysia, the SAC of Securities Commission (for
capital market-related matters) and our decisions. Throughout the year, the Shariah review and Shariah audit functions
have been conducted by the Bank, covering the following entities/areas:

BUSINESS ZAKAT
In the financial year, the Bank has fulfilled its obligation to pay zakat on its business to state zakat authorities by adopting
the growth capital computation method, in compliance with the Banking Zakat Management Manual (Pengurusan Zakat
Perbankan) issued by the Wakaf, Zakat and Hajj Department (Jabatan Wakaf, Zakat dan Haji – JAWHAR). The Bank paid
the zakat on the Bank’s portion, i.e. shareholders’ fund and other funds received by the Bank excluding depositors’ fund
and Investment Account Holders’ fund.
Several zakat authorities had mandated distribution of a portion of the zakat paid by the Bank based on their agent

INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS’ REPORT
to the members of Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad
(Incorporated in Malaysia) (Company No. 198301002944 (98127-X))
OUR OPINION
In our opinion, the financial statements of Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (“the Bank”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) give
a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Bank as at 31 December 2021, and of their financial
performance and their cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting
Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial
statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group and of the Bank, the accounting processes and
controls, and the industry in which the Group and the Bank operate.

INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND AUDITORS’ REPORT THEREON
The Directors of the Bank are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Directors’ Report,
Report of the Shariah Supervisory Council and Annual Report, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’ report,
and Annual Report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date. Other information does not include the
financial statements of the Group and of the Bank and our auditors’ report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
of the Group and of the Bank or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditors’
report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In preparing the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s
and the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Bank or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
As part of an audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia and International Standards on
Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
(a) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
(b) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s
and of the Bank’s internal control.
228
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
(c) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the Directors.
(d) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Group’s or on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial
statements of the Group and of the Bank or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Group or the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.
(e) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank,
including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements of the Group and of the Bank represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
(f) Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Group. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the current financial year and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about
the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
OTHER MATTERS
This report is made solely to the members of the Bank, as a body, in accordance with Section 266 of the Companies Act 2016
in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 December 2021
The Bank is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and is listed on the Main
Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is as
follows:
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Bank and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”).
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 7 March 2022.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with the
applicable Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRS”), International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”), the requirements of Companies Act 2016 in Malaysia and Shariah requirements.
The Government has introduced certain measures to assist customers experiencing temporary financial
constraints due to the pandemic. The key measures affecting regulatory and accounting treatment and
classifications are as follows:
•• The Bank has granted an automatic repayment moratorium on all individuals’ and small-medium
enterprises’ (“SMEs”) financing (except for credit card balances) for a period of six months from 1 April
2020. The automatic moratorium applied to financing not in arrears exceeding 90 days as at 1 April
2020 and denominated in Malaysian Ringgit. This measure is extended beyond 1 October 2020 to
viable customers on a case-to-case basis, whose applications are received on or before 30 June 2021
via various repayment assistance. On 6 July 2021, BNM announced that individuals, microenterprise
customers and SMEs affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, may start applying for the six-month
moratorium from 7 July 2021 onwards, in line with the Government’s Pakej Perlindungan Rakyat dan
Pemulihan Ekonomi (PEMULIH). In addition to the moratorium, The Bank has offered a reduction in
instalments and other packages, including to reschedule and restructure financing and advances to
suit the specific financial circumstances of customers..
•• urthermore, the Bank and Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit has introduced the Financial
F
Management & Resillience Programme (“URUS”) for individual customers who continued to be
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic whose applications are received from 15 November 2021 to 31
January 2022.
241
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
•• For credit card balances, the Bank offered the option to convert the balances to term financing.
•• For corporate customers, the Bank granted assistance through repayment moratorium or additional
working capital or rescheduling and restructuring of existing facilities. This is to enable viable corporations
in preserving jobs and resuming economic activities when conditions stabilise and improve.
(ii) Definition of defaulted exposures under the policy documents on Capital Adequacy Framework for
Islamic Banks for which assistance is granted:
•• The determination of “days past due” is based on the new repayment terms of rescheduled and
restructured financing.
•• Individuals or SMEs are not considered to be in default based on the “unlikeliness to repay” at the time
of when the assistance was granted, except for when customers are subject to bankruptcy action.
•• Corporates “unlikeliness to repay” are based on holistic assessment of all relevant factors and
information, not on the act of accepting assistance from the Bank.
The regulatory capital treatment above shall apply to financing denominated in Malaysian Ringgit that
meet the following criteria;
•• The principal or profit or both, is not in arrears exceeding 90 days at the application date of assistance.
•• The application is received on or before due date of the respective assistance programme.
The regulatory capital treatment would also be applicable to rescheduled and restructured financing
that are facilitated by Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit, the Small Debt Resolution Scheme
and the Corporate Debt Restructuring Committee.
The following shall apply for rescheduled and restructured financing with arrears not exceeding 90 days
at the application date of assistance received:
Customers under URUS shall be identified as enrolled in the programme to facilitate follow up and
monitoring by AKPK and the Bank in order to provide further support. The identification shall be
removed once the customers exit the programme or at the earliest, six months after enrollment date.
(iv) Bank Negara Malaysia (“BNM”) allows financial institutions to drawdown certain prudential buffers as
below:
BNM requires financial institutions to restore the minimum regulatory requirements by 30 September 2021.

I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
Other than as described above, the adoption of other accounting standards, interpretations and amendments
did not have any significant impact on the Group and the Bank.
The following are accounting standards, amendments and interpretations of the MFRS framework that have
been issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) but have not been adopted by the
Group and the Bank.
MFRSs, Interpretations and amendments effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022
MFRSs, Interpretations and amendments effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023
MFRSs, Interpretations and amendments effective for annual periods beginning or after a date yet to be
confirmed
•• Amendments to MFRS 112, Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
•• Amendments to MFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and MFRS 128, Investments in Associates
and Joint Ventures – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint
Venture
The Group and the Bank plan to apply the abovementioned standards, amendments and interpretations on
the respective effective dates.
The initial application of the accounting standards, amendments and interpretations are not expected to
have any material financial impacts to the current period and prior period financial statements of the Group
and the Bank.
243
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
Significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgements used in applying accounting policies that
have significant effect in determining the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in Note
2.9 – Impairment.
Subsidiaries are entities, including structured entities, controlled by the Bank. The financial statements of the
subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences
until the date that control ceases.
The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Potential voting rights
are considered when assessing control only when such rights are substantive. The Group also considers it
has de facto power over an investee when, despite not having the majority of voting rights, it has the
current ability to direct the activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee’s return.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Bank’s statement of financial position at cost less
impairment losses, if any. Where there is indication of impairment, the carrying amount of the investment
is assessed. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is
the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
244
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
For new acquisitions, the Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the
acquiree either at fair value or at proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the
acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group
incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
The Group applies predecessor accounting to account for business combinations under common control.
Under predecessor accounting, assets and liabilities acquired are not restated to their respective fair values.
They are recognised at the carrying amounts from the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate
holding company of the Group and adjusted to conform with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
The difference between any consideration given and the aggregate carrying amounts of the assets and
liabilities of the acquired entity is recognised as an adjustment to equity. No additional goodwill is recognised.
The acquired entity’s results, assets and liabilities are consolidated from the date on which the business
combination between entities under common control occurred. Consequently, the consolidated financial
statements do not reflect the results of the acquired entity for the period before the transaction occurred.
The comparative information is not restated.
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former
subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the former subsidiary
from the consolidated statement of financial position. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is
recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the former subsidiary, then such interest is
measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity
accounted investee or as a financial asset at FVOCI depending on the level of influence retained.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised
income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated.
245
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
In preparing the financial statements of the Group entities, transactions in foreign currencies are translated
to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of reporting date are retranslated
to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the
reporting date, except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency
at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences
arising on the retranslation of FVOCI equity instruments or a financial instrument designated as a hedge of
currency risk, which are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(b) Foreign operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”)
The results and financial position of all the Group entities and branch of the Bank (none of which has the
currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation
currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
•• the assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including fair
value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the
reporting date;
•• the income and expenses of the foreign operations are translated to RM at average exchange rates for
the period; and
•• all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of other comprehensive
income.
On consolidation and at Bank, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in
foreign entities and branch, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of
such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation,
or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, a disposal involving
loss of joint control over a joint venture that includes a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of
significant influence over an associate that includes a foreign operation), all of the exchange differences
relating to that foreign operation recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the
separate component of equity are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on disposal. In the
case of a partial disposal that does not result in the Group losing control over a subsidiary that includes a
foreign operation, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-
controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (that is, reductions
in the Group’s ownership interest in associates or joint ventures that do not result in the Group losing
significant influence or joint control) the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange difference is
reclassified to profit or loss.

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when,
the Group and the Bank becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair
value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the
financial instrument.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified and measured at: amortised cost; FVOCI - debt instrument;
FVOCI - equity instrument; or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group and the Bank change
its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on
the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not
designated as at FVTPL:
•• it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
•• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
profit on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective profit rate method. These assets
are stated net of unearned income and any impairment loss.
Included in financial assets measured at amortised cost are financing, advances and others which consist
of sale-based contracts (namely Bai’ Bithaman Ajil, Bai Al-Inah, Murabahah, Bai Al-Dayn and At-Tawarruq),
lease-based contracts (namely Ijarah Muntahiah Bit-Tamleek, construction-based contract (Istisna’) and Ar-
Rahnu contract.
These financing contracts are recorded in the financial statements as financial assets measured at amortised
cost based on concept of ‘substance over form’ and in accordance with MFRS 9.
247
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
A debt instrument is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not
designated as at FVTPL:
•• it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash
flows and selling financial assets; and
•• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and profit on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair
value is recognised in the fair value reserve through other comprehensive income except for profit
income, impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses arising from monetary items which
are recognised in profit or loss. On derecognition or disposal, the cumulative gains or losses previously
recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity into profit or loss. Profit calculated for a debt instrument
using the effective profit method is recognised in the profit or loss.
On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Group and the Bank may
irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is
made on an investment-by-investment basis.
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend are recognised as income in profit or
loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net
gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.
All financial assets not measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL.
This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group and the Bank may irrevocably
designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at
FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would
otherwise arise.
These financial assets are subsequently measured at their fair values and any gain or loss arising from a
change in the fair value will be recognised in the profit or loss.

The Group and the Bank make an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset
is held at the portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is
provided to management. The information considered includes:
•• t he stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These
include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual profit income, maintaining a
particular profit rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related
liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising cash flows through the sale of the assets;
•• how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the management;
•• the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that
business model) and how those risks are managed; and
•• how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of
the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered
sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group’s and the Bank’s continuing recognition of the assets.
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value
basis are measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profit
(“SPPI”)
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial
recognition. ‘Profit’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with
the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs
(e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profit, the Group and the
Bank consider the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset
contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would
not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group and the Bank consider:
•• contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
•• terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features;
•• prepayment and extension features; and
•• terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
249
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
Financial assets – Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profit
(“SPPI”) (continued)
A prepayment feature is consistent with the SPPI criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents
unpaid amounts of principal and profit on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable
additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a
discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount
that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual profit (which may
also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion
if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
The Group and the Bank hold derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and profit rate
exposures. However, the Group and the Bank elect not to apply hedge accounting. Hence, foreign exchange
trading positions, including spot and forward contracts, are revalued at prevailing market rates at statement of
financial position date and the resultant gains and losses for the financial year are recognised in the profit or loss.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and
only if, it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host
contract is not categorised at fair value through profit or loss. In the event of an embedded derivatives, the host
contract that is not a financial assets are recognised separately and accounted for in accordance with the policy
applicable to the nature of the host contract.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost other than those categorised as fair value
through profit or loss.
The financial liabilities measured at amortised cost are deposit from customers, investment accounts of
customers, recourse obligations on financing sold to Cagamas, bills and acceptance payables, Subordinated
Sukuk Murabahah and other liabilities.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives or financial liabilities
that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values
with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

An unrestricted investment account (“UA”) refers to a type of investment account where the investment
account holder (“IAH”) provides the Bank with the mandate to make the ultimate decision without
specifying any particular restrictions or conditions. The UA is structured under Mudharabah and
Wakalah contracts.
Impairment allowances required on the assets for investment accounts are charged to and borne by
the investors.
Restricted investment account (“RA”) refers to a type of investment account where the IAH provides a
specific investment mandate to the Bank such as purpose, asset class, economic sector and period of
investment.
RA is accounted for as off balance sheet as the Bank has no risk and reward in respect of the assets
related to the RA or to the residual cash flows from those assets except for the fee income generated
by the Bank for managing the RA. The Bank also has no ability to exercise power over the RA to affect
the amount of the Bank’s return. The RA is structured under the Wakalah contract whereby the IAH
appoints the Bank as the agent to invest the funds provided by IAH to finance customers with a view
of earning profits and the Bank receives fees for the agency service provided.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the Group and the Bank to make specified payments
to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in
accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Fees and commissions arising from financial guarantee contracts are classified as deferred income and are
amortised to profit or loss using a straight-line method over the contractual period or, when there is no specified
contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon discharge of the guarantee. Financial guarantee contracts
are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of:

A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from
the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or
substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the
carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new
liability assumed) and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or
loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying
amount of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including
any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial
position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it
intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Items of property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs
directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of
dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-
constructed assets also includes the cost of materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing
costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs. Cost also may include
transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of
property and equipment.
Purchased software and management information system under development that is integral to the
functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
The cost of property and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value
at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be
exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing
wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of
equipment is based on the quoted market prices for similar items when available and replacement cost
when appropriate.

I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
When significant parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted
for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment is determined by comparing the
proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of property and equipment and is recognised net within
“other income” and “other expenses” respectively in profit or loss.
The cost of replacing a component of an item of property and equipment is recognised in the carrying
amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will
flow to the Group and the Bank, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced
component is derecognised to profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment
are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
(c) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual
assets are assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset,
then that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each
component of an item of property and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the
lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group and the Bank will obtain
ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation on management
information system under develoment commences when the assets are ready for their intended use. The
assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting
period.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at end of the reporting period, and
adjusted as appropriate.

The associated lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, an incremental borrowing
rate is used in determining the discount rate which assumes the interest rate that the Group would have to pay
to borrow over a similar term, the funds necessary to obtain the asset. The weighted average incremental
borrowing rate applied for the Group and the Bank was at 5.7%.
Each lease payment is allocated between the lease liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit
or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of profit on the remaining balance of the
liability for each period.
Payments associated with short-term leases are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.
Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.
Lessee accounting
The Group and the Bank first consider whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as ‘a contract,
or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in
exchange for consideration’.
To apply this definition, the Group and the Bank assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations
which are whether:
•• the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly
specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group and the Bank;
•• the Group and the Bank have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the
identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract;
or
•• the Group and the Bank have the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use.
The Group and the Bank assesses whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used
throughout the period of use.
At lease commencement date, the Group and the Bank recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on
the statement of financial position. The ROU asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial
measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group and the Bank, an estimate of
any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance
of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).
The Group and the Bank depreciates the ROU assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date
to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the ROU asset or the end of the lease term. The Group and the Bank
also assesses the ROU asset for impairment when such indicators exist.
254
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
At the commencement date, the Group and the Bank measures the lease liability at the present value of the
lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the profit rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily
available or the Group’s or Bank’s incremental financing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in
substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual
value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for profit
expense. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance
fixed payments.
When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in the ROU asset, or profit and
loss if the ROU asset is already reduced to zero.
The Group and the Bank have elected to account for short-term leases using the practical expedients. Instead
of recognising a ROU asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in
profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lessor accounting
As a lessor, the Group and the Bank classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases. A lease is classified
as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying
asset, and classified as an operating lease if it does not.
Leases, where the Group and the Bank does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as operating leases and, the leased assets are not recognised on the statement of financial position.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense,
over the term of the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting period in which they
are incurred.
When the Group and the Bank are an intermediate lessor, it assesses the lease classification of a sublease with
reference to the ROU asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head
lease is a short-term lease to which the Group and the Bank apply the exemption described above, then it
classify the sublease as an operating lease.

The Group and the Bank recognise allowance for impairment or allowance for expected credit losses “ECL”
on financial assets measured at amortised cost, financial guarantee contracts, financing commitments and
debt securities measured at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments.
The Group and the Bank define a financial instruments that has objective evidence of impairment as default,
when it meets one or more of the following criteria;
Quantitative criteria;
Qualitative criteria;
A financing is credit impaired when one or more triggers/criteria that have a detrimental impact on the
estimated future cash flow of the financial asset have occurred. The Group and the Bank consider the
following mandatory triggers;
i) Ceased operation
ii) Bankruptcy/wound up
iii) Fraud with investigation report duly confirmed as fraud
iv) Liquidator/R&M appointed
v) Deceased
Financial instruments that are credit-impaired with exposure more than RM1 million are assessed on
individual basis.
The Group and the Bank have considered the impact of the pandemic and has taken into account the
economic and financial measures announced by the Government in estimating the ECL on the financial
assets.
Under collective assessment, the Group and the Bank apply a three-stage approach to measuring ECL on
financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI. Financial assets migrate through the following three
stages based on the change in credit quality since initial recognition:
For exposures where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and
that are not credit impaired upon recognition, the portion of lifetime ECL associated with the probability
of default events occurring within the next 12 months is recognised.
For exposures where there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition but that
are not credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised.
256
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
Financial assets are assessed as credit impaired when one or more events that have a negative impact
on the estimated future cash flows of that asset have occurred. For financial assets that have become
credit impaired, a lifetime ECL is recognised.
The Group and the Bank consider the economic and financial measures announced by the Government, i.e.
automatic moratorium as well as rescheduling and restructuring for eligible customers are granted as part
of an unprecedented government effort to support the economy amid the pandemic, rather than in
response to the financial circumstances of individual customers. Judgement is excercised in determining the
significant increase in credit risk for customers receiving relief assistance and do not automatically result in
a stage transfer.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial
recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group and the Bank consider reasonable and supportable
information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and
qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s and the Bank’s historical experience, informed
credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The Group and the Bank assume that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly when it
is more than 30 days past due. The Group and the Bank also use its internal credit risk grading system and
external risk rating to assess deterioration in credit quality of a financial assets.
The Group and the Bank assess whether the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly on an
individual or collective basis. For the purposes of a collective evaluation of impairment, financial assets are
grouped on the basis of similar risk characteristics, taking into account the asset type, industry, geographical
location, collateral type, past-due status and other relevant factors. These characteristics are relevant to the
estimation of future cash flows for groups of such assets by being indicative of the counterparty’s ability to
pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets being evaluated.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value
of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the
contract and the cash flows that the Group and the Bank expect to receive).
ECLs are discounted at the effective profit rate of the financial asset.
257
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
Relevant macroeconomic factors are incorporated in the risk parameters as appropriate. The key
macroeconomics variables (“MEV”) that are incorporated in determining ECLs include, Oil Price (“OP”), Gross
Domestic Product (“GDP”), House Price Index (“HPI”), and Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (“KLCI”).
Forward-looking macroeconomic forecasts are generated by the Group’s and the Bank’s Economist as part
of the ECL process. An economic forecast is accompanied with three economic scenarios: a base case (60%),
which is the median scenario, and two less likely scenarios, one upside (20%) and one downside (20%).
Selected MEVs are projected over the forecast period, and they could have a material impact in determining
ECLs. Forecasted MEVs are derived by Economist using time series econometrics. The data series are
procured from the official source such as Department of Statistics Malaysia (“DOSM”), BNM and other
government agencies. Prior to MEV forecast, Economist would gather his or her intelligence from discussion
with the policy makers, institutional investors and other news flow (main stream and social media) in order
to form an opinion. The opinion may cover the economic policies, business cycle and financial market
condition. This will be the main input before embarking MEV forecast exercise.
The methodology and assumptions including any forecasts of future economic conditions are reviewed
regularly.
At each reporting date, the Group and the Bank assess whether financial assets carried at amortised cost
and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more
events that have a negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Certain mandatory and judgmental triggers that the Group and the Bank use to determine that there is
objective evidence of an impairment loss include:
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying
amount of the assets.
For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognised in other
comprehensive income.

A financing that is renegotiated is derecognised if the existing agreement is cancelled and a new agreement
made on substantially different terms or if the terms of an existing agreement are modified such that the
renegotiated financing is a substantially different instrument. Where such financing are derecognised, the
renegotiated contract is a new financing and impairment is assessed in accordance with the Group’s and
the Bank’s accounting policy.
Where the renegotiation of such financing are not derecognised, the gross carrying amount is recalculated
based on the revised cash flows with gain or loss on modification recognised in profit or loss. Impairment
continues to be assessed for significant increases in credit risk compared to the initial origination credit risk
rating.
(vii) Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written-off when the Group and the Bank have no
reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual
customers, the Group and the Bank have a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the
financial asset is 180 days past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. For
commercial and corporate customers, the Group and the Bank individually make an assessment with
respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of
recovery. The Group and the Bank expect no significant recovery from the amount written-off. However,
financial assets that are written-off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with
the Group’s and the Bank’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
The carrying amount of other assets (except for current tax assets and deferred tax assets) are reviewed at the
end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication
exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax
discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
asset.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment
losses are recognised in the profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the
loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the
asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment losses are
credited to the profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

Government grants relating to costs are recognised in the profit or loss over the periods to match the related
costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant. The loan
shall be recognised and measured in accordance with MFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The benefit of the below-
market rate of interest shall be measured as the difference between the initial carrying value of the loan
determined in accordance with MFRS 9 and the proceeds received. The benefit is accounted for in accordance
with MFRS 120. The Group and the Bank shall consider the conditions and obligations that have been, or must
be, met when identifying the costs for which the benefit of the loan is intended to compensate.
2.12 Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group and the Bank have a present legal or
constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits
will be required to settle the obligation.
The provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and if it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Dividend distribution
Liability is recognised for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the
discretion of the Group, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting
period. Distributions to holders of an equity instrument is recognised directly in equity.
Financing income is recognised in the profit or loss using the effective profit rate method. The effective profit
rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the
financial instruments or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial
instruments. When calculating the effective profit rate, the Group and the Bank have considered all contractual
terms of the financial instruments but do not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and
transaction costs integral to the effective profit rate, as well as premium or discounts.
Income from a sale-based contract is recognised on effective profit rate basis over the period of the contract
based on the principal amounts outstanding whereas income from Ijarah (lease-based contract) is recognised
on effective profit rate basis over the lease term.
For credit-impaired financial assets the effective profit rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial
assets (after deduction of the loss allowance).
Financing arrangement, management and participation fees, underwriting commissions, brokerage fees and
wakalah performance incentive fees are recognised as income based on contractual arrangements. Fees from

Following the end of the six-month blanket moratorium, the Group and the Bank continue to support financing
customers that face difficulties in fulfilling their financial obligation, through various Repayment Assistance
(“RA”) programme.
As a result of the payment moratorium and TRA, the Group and the Bank recognised a one-off loss of
RM48,910,000 (2020: RM136,380,000 arising from the modification of the expected cash flows of the financing.
The following table includes a summary of information for financial assets with lifetime ECL whose cash flows
were modified during the financial year as part of the Group and Bank’s restructuring and rescheduling
activities and their respective effect on the Group and the Bank’s financial performance:

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in
respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not
recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction
that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax
is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse,
based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets
and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

2.20 Zakat
This represents business zakat that is paid on the Bank’s portion. It is an obligatory amount payable by the
Group and the Bank to comply with the rules and principles of Shariah.
Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave
are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus and termination
benefits if the Group and the Bank have a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result
of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Group’s and the Bank’s contribution to the Employees Provident Fund is charged to the profit or loss in
the year to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group and the Bank have no further
payment obligations.
When available, the Group and the Bank measure the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an
active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if transactions for the asset or liability take
place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group and the Bank use valuation techniques that
maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen
valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing
a transaction.
263
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, then the Group measures assets
and long positions at a bid price and liabilities and short positions at an ask price.
Portfolios of financial assets and financial liabilities that are exposed to market risk and credit risk that are
managed by the Group on the basis of the net exposure to either market or credit risk are measured on the
basis of a price that would be received to sell a net long position (or paid to transfer a net short position) for a
particular risk exposure. Those portfolio-level adjustments are allocated to the individual assets and liabilities on
the basis of the relative risk adjustment of each of the individual instruments in the portfolio.
The fair value of a demand deposit is not less than the amount payable on demand, discounted from the first
date on which the amount could be required to be paid.
The Group and the Bank recognise transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the
reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Credit risk is the risk of a customer or counterparty failing to perform its obligations. It arises from all transactions
that could lead to actual, contingent or potential claims against any party, customer or obligor. The types of
credit risks that the Group and the Bank considers to be material include: Default Risk, Counterparty Risk, Credit
Concentration Risk, Residual/Credit Mitigation Risk, and Migration Risk.
316
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
The management of credit risk is principally carried out by using sets of policies and guidelines approved by the
MRCC and/or BRC, guided by the Board of Directors’ approved Risk Appetite Statement.
The Group and the Bank have instituted two (2) levels of Financing Committees, which assess and approve
credits at their specified authority levels.
The MRCC is responsible under the authority delegated by the BRC for managing credit risk at strategic level.
The MRCC reviews the Group’s and the Bank’s credit risk policies and guidelines, aligns credit risk management
with business strategies and planning, reviews credit profile of the credit portfolios and recommends necessary
actions to ensure that the credit risk remains within established risk tolerance levels.
The Group’s and the Bank’s credit risk management governance includes the establishment of detailed credit
risk policies, guidelines and procedures which document the Group’s and the Bank’s financing standards,
discretionary powers for financing approval, credit risk ratings methodologies and models, acceptable collaterals
and valuation, and the review, rehabilitation and restructuring of problematic and delinquent financing.
The management of credit risk is being performed by Credit Management Division (“CMD”) and Risk Management
Division (“RMD”), and two other units outside of the CMD and RMD domain, namely, Credit Administration
Department and Recovery & Rehabilitation Division. The combined objectives are, amongst others:
•• To build a high quality credit portfolio in line with the Group’s and the Bank’s overall strategy and risk
appetite;
•• To ensure that the Group and the Bank is compensated for the risk taken, balancing/optimising the risk/return
relationship;
•• To develop an increasing ability to recognise, measure and avoid or mitigate potential credit risk problem
areas; and
•• To conform with statutory, regulatory and internal credit requirements.
The Group and the Bank monitors its credit exposures either on a portfolio or individual basis through annual
reviews. Credit risk is proactively monitored through a set of early warning signals that could trigger immediate
reviews of (certain parts of) the portfolio. The affected portfolio or financing is placed on a watchlist to enforce
close monitoring and prevent financing from turning impaired and to increase chances of full recovery.
A detailed limit structure is in place to ensure that risks taken are within the risk appetite as set by the Board
and to avoid credit risk concentration on a single customer, sector, product, Shariah contract, etc.
Credit risk arising from dealing and investing activities are managed by the establishment of limits which include
counterparty limits and permissible acquisition of private debt securities, subject to a specified minimum rating
threshold. Furthermore, the dealing and investing activities are monitored by an independent middle office unit.

The following table presents the Group’s and Bank’s maximum exposure to credit risk of on-balance sheet and
off-balance sheet financial instruments, without taking into account any collateral held or other credit
enhancements. For on-balance sheet assets, the exposure to credit risk equals their carrying amount. For
financial guarantee contracts, the maximum exposure to credit risk is the maximum amount that the Group and
the Bank would have to pay if the obligations of the instruments issued are called upon. For credit commitments,
the maximum exposure to credit risk is the full amount of the undrawn credit facilities granted to customers.

In mitigating the counterparty credit risks from foreign exchange and derivatives transactions, the Group
and the Bank enter into master agreements that provide for closeout netting with counterparties, whenever
possible. A master agreement that governs all transactions between two parties, creates the greater legal
certainty that the netting of outstanding obligations can be enforced upon termination of outstanding
transactions if an event of default occurs.
The Group and the Bank manage its exposures to these customers by completing a credit evaluation to
assess the customer’s character, industry, business model and capacity to meet their commitments in a
timely manner. The Group and the Bank may take collateral in the form of a first charge over real estate,
floating charges over all corporate assets and other liens and guarantees.

The Group and the Bank routinely update the valuation of collateral held against all financing as it adopts
an annual internal valuation policy and a 2 years external valuation policy.
At 31 December 2021, the gross exposure of credit-impaired financing and advances to business customers
amounted to RM395,179,000 (2020: RM182,271,000) and the forced sales value of collateral held against those
financing and advances amounted to RM278,957,000 (2020: RM298,895,000).
House financing
The following table presents credit exposures from financing and advances that are credit impaired by
ranges of financing-to-value (“FTV”) ratio. FTV is calculated as the ratio of the gross amount of the financing,
or the amount committed for financing commitments - to the value of the collateral.

FGCs mainly comprise guarantees to customers, standby or documentary letters of credit and performance
related contingencies. The Group and the Bank will typically have recourse to specific assets pledged as
collateral in the event of a default by a party for which the Group and the Bank have guaranteed its
obligations to a third party.

No significant changes to estimation techniques or assumptions were made during the year.
Excellent to Good: Sound financial position with no difficulty in meeting its obligations.
Satisfactory: Adequate safety of meeting its current obligations but more time is required to meet the
entire obligation in full.
Fair: Higher risks on payment obligations. Financial performance may continue to deteriorate.
Financing for which the customer has not missed a contractual payment (profit or principal) when
contractually due and is not impaired and there is no objective evidence of impairment.
Financing for which its contractual profit or principal payments are past due, but the Group and the
Bank believe that impairment is not appropriate on the basis of the level of collateral available and/or the
stage of collection amounts owed to the Group and the Bank.
•• Impaired financing
(i) where the principal or profit or both are past due for three months or more;
(ii) in the case of revolving credit facilities, where the outstanding amount has remained in excess of
the approved limit for a period of three months or more;
(iii) where the amount is past due or the outstanding amount has been in excess of the approved limit
for three months or less and the financing exhibits indications of significant credit weakness;
(iv) as soon as default occurs where the principal and/or profit repayments are schedule on intervals of
3 months or longer.

Rescheduled or restructured financings are financings that have been rescheduled or restructured due to
deterioration in the customers’ financial positions and the Bank has made concessions that it would not
otherwise consider. Once the financing is rescheduled or restructured, its satisfactory performance is
monitored for a period of six (6) months before it can be reclassified to performing.

The following table shows certain key macroeconomic variables used in modelling the allowance for credit
losses for Stages 1 and 2. For the base, upside and downside scenarios, the projections are provided for the
next 12 months and for the remaining forecast period, which represents a medium-term view.
An increase in unemployment rate or CPI will generally correlate with higher allowances for credit losses,
whereas an increase in the other macroeconomic factors (KLCI, HPI and GDP) will generally correlate with
lower allowances for credit losses. Due to the unprecedented nature of the pandemic, and the difficulty of
predicting reliably the forecast period, the Group and the Bank have applied certain management overlay
on the overall allowance for credit losses.
These overlays and post-model adjustments were taken to reflect the latest macroeconomic outlook not
captured in the modelled outcome and potential impact to delinquencies and defaults when the various
relief and support measures are expiring in 2022. The impact were estimated at portfolio level. Total overlays
for ECLs maintained by the Group and by the Bank as at 31 December 2021 are RM335,526,000 (31 December
2020: RM231,574,000).

Market risk is the risk of adverse impact to the Group’s and the Bank’s arises from fluctuations of market prices
and rates. The following are the main market risk factors that the Group and the Bank are exposed to:
– Profit Rate Risk: also known as the Rate of Return Risk, is the potential impact on the Group’s and the
Bank’s profitability caused by changes in the rate of return due to general market movements or issuer/
customer specific reasons;
– Foreign Exchange Risk: the impact of exchange rate movements on the Group’s and the Bank’s currency
positions; and
– Equity Instrument Risk: the profitability impact on the Group’s and the Bank’s equity positions or
investments caused by changes in equity prices or values.
The Group and the Bank separates the market risk exposures into either trading book or banking book portfolios.
Trading book portfolios include those positions arising from market making, proprietary position taking and
other marked-to-market positions as per the Board-approved Trading Book Policy Statements. Banking book
portfolios primarily arise from the Group’s and the Bank’s profit rate management of the Bank’s assets and
liabilities and investment portfolio mainly for liquidity management.
The management of market risk is principally carried out by using sets of policies and guidelines approved by
the ALCO and/or BRC, guided by the Board-approved Risk Appetite Statement.
The ALCO is responsible under the authority delegated by the BRC for managing market risk at strategic level.
The objective is to manage market risk exposures in order to optimise return on risk while maintaining a market
risk profile consistent with the Group’s and the Bank’s approved risk appetite.
All market risk exposures are managed by Treasury, who has the necessary skills, tools, management and
governance to manage such risks. The management of market risk is guided by comprehensive limits, policies
and guidelines which are periodically reviewed.
The Market Risk Management Department (“MRMD”) is the independent risk control function that is responsible
for the implementation of market risk management framework. MRMD is also responsible for developing and
reviewing the Group’s and the Bank’s market risk management guidelines and policies, monitoring tools,
behavioural assumptions and limit setting methodologies. Escalation procedures are documented and approved
by the ALCO and/or BRC. In addition, the market risk exposures and limits are reported to the ALCO and the BRC.
Other controls to ensure that market risk exposures remain within tolerable levels include regular stress testing,
ad-hoc simulations and rigorous new product approval procedures. Stress test results are produced regularly to
determine the impact of changes in profit rates, foreign exchange rates and other risk factors on the Group’s and
the Bank’s profitability, capital adequacy and liquidity. The stress test provides the Management and the BRC
with an assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme events on the market risk exposures of the
Group and the Bank.

Profit rate risk in the banking book portfolio is managed and controlled using measurement tools known
as Earnings at Risk (“EaR”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”).
The Group and the Bank monitor the sensitivity of EaR and EVE under varying profit rate scenarios (i.e.
simulation modeling). The model is a combination of standard and non-standard scenarios relevant to the
local market. The standard scenarios include the parallel fall or rise in the profit rate curve and historical
simulation. These scenarios assume no management action. Hence, it does not incorporate actions that
would be taken by Treasury to mitigate the impact of the profit rate risk. In reality, depending on the view
on future market movements, Treasury would proactively manage and strategise to change the profit rate
exposure profile to minimise losses and to optimise net revenues. The Bank’s hedging and risk mitigation
strategies range from the use of derivative financial instruments, such as profit rate swaps, to more intricate
hedging strategies to address inordinate profit rate risk exposures.
The table below shows the Group’s and the Bank’s profit rate sensitivity to a 150 basis points (2020: 100 basis
point) parallel shift as at reporting date.
2021 2020
Group
Impact on EaR (206.6) 206.6 (131.4) 131.4
Impact on EVE 294.0 (294.0) 241.0 (241.0)
Bank
Impact on EaR (204.7) 204.7 (131.4) 131.4
Impact on EVE 293.6 (293.6) 240.9 (240.9)
On 30 June 2020, BNM issued the revised reporting requirements for EVE and EaR which come into effect
on 1 January 2021. One of the changes is to report both the EVE and EaR based on 150 basis point parallel
shift instead of 100 basis point parallel shift.
Another control to manage the profit rate risk in the banking book portfolio includes present value of 1 basis
point change (“PV01”) which measures the portfolio’s sensitivity to market rates movement.

Market risk in the trading book portfolio is monitored and controlled using Value-at-Risk (“VaR”). It is a
technique that estimates the potential losses that could occur on risk positions as a result of movements in
market rates over a specified time horizon and to a given level of confidence. The VaR model used by the
Group and the Bank are based on historical simulation which derives plausible future scenarios from past
series of recorded market rates and prices. The historical simulation model used by the Group and the Bank
incorporates the following features:
•• Potential market movements are calculated with reference to data from the past two years;
•• Historical market rates and prices are calculated with reference to foreign exchange rates and profit rates;
and
•• VaR is calculated using a 99 per cent confidence level and for a one-day holding period.
A summary of the VaR position of the Bank’s trading book portfolios at the reporting date is as follows:
1.1.2021 to 31.12.2021
As at
31.12.2021 Average Maximum Minimum
Bank RM million RM million RM million RM million
1.1.2020 to 31.12.2020

Bank RM million RM million RM million RM million
In addition to VaR, the Group and the Bank has put in place the maximum loss limits, position limits, tenor
limits and PV01 limits in monitoring the trading book portfolio.

The Group and the Bank manages and controls the trading book portfolio’s foreign exchange risk by limiting
the net open exposure to individual currencies and on an aggregate basis. The Group and the Bank also has
in place the sensitivity limit. For the Bank-wide (trading book and banking book portfolios) foreign exchange
risk, the Group and the Bank manage and control by limiting the net open exposure on an aggregate basis.
Sensitivity Analysis
Assuming that other risk variables remain constant, the foreign currency revaluation sensitivity for the Group
and the Bank as at reporting date is summarised as follows (only net open position for major currencies are
shown in its specific currency in the table below. For other currencies, these exposures are grouped as
‘Others’):
2021 2020
Liquidity risk is the potential inability of the Group and the Bank to meet its funding needs and regulatory
obligation when they fall due, or will have to do it at excessive cost. This risk can arise from mismatches in the
timing of cash flows.
The Group and the Bank maintains a diversified and stable funding base comprising of retail and corporate
customer deposits. This is augmented by wholesale funding and highly liquid assets portfolios.
The objective of the Group’s and the Bank’s liquidity management is to ensure that all foreseeable funding
commitments and deposit withdrawals can be met when due and that wholesale market remains accessible and
cost effective.
Savings account, current account, investment accounts (IA) and term deposits form a critical part of the Group’s
and the Bank’s funding profile and the Group and the Bank place considerable importance on maintaining their
stability. The stability depends upon preserving depositor confidence in the Group and the Bank and the Group’s
and the Bank’s capital strength and liquidity, and on competitive and transparent pricing.
343
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
The Group’s and the Bank’s liquidity management is primarily carried out in accordance with Bank Negara
Malaysia’s requirements and the internal limits are approved by the ALCO and/or BRC. The limits vary to take
account of the depth and liquidity of the local market in which the Group and the Bank operate. The Group and
the Bank maintain a strong liquidity position and manage the liquidity profile of its assets, liabilities and
commitments to ensure that cash flows are appropriately balanced and all obligations are met when due.
The management of liquidity risk is principally carried out by using sets of policies and guidelines approved by
ALCO and/or BRC, guided by the Board’s approved Risk Appetite Statement.
The ALCO is responsible under the authority delegated by the BRC for managing liquidity risk at strategic level.
All liquidity risk exposures are managed by Treasury, who has the necessary skills, tools, management and
governance to manage such risks. Limits and other risk controls are set to meet the following objectives:
•• Maintaining sufficient liquidity surplus and reserves to sustain a sudden liquidity shock;
•• Ensuring cash flows are relatively diversified across all maturities;
•• Ensuring deposit base is diversified and not overly concentrated to a relatively small number of depositors;
•• Maintaining sufficient borrowing capacity in the Interbank market
•• Maintain sufficient highly liquid financial assets;
•• Not over-extending financing activities relative to the deposit base; and
•• Not over-relying on non-Ringgit liabilities to fund Ringgit assets.
MRMD is also responsible for the implementation of liquidity risk management framework. It develops the
Group’s and the Bank’s liquidity risk management guidelines, monitoring tools, behavioural assumptions and
limit setting methodologies. Escalation procedures are documented and approved by the ALCO and/or BRC, with
proper authorities to ratify or approve any excess. In addition, the liquidity risk exposures and limits are reported
to the ALCO and the BRC.
Stress testing and scenario analysis are important tools used by the Group and the Bank to manage the liquidity
risk. Stress test results are produced regularly to determine the impact of a sudden liquidity shock. The stress
testing provides the Management and the BRC with an assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme
events on the liquidity and funding risk exposures of the Group and the Bank.
Another key control feature of the Group’s and the Bank’s liquidity risk management is the liquidity contingency
management plans. These plans identify the pre-emptive quantitative and qualitative indicators of stress
conditions arising from systemic or other crises and provide guidance on the actions to be taken in order to
minimise the adverse implications to the Group and the Bank.

Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and
systems and external events, which includes legal risk and Shariah compliance risk but excludes strategic and
reputational risk.
The Group and the Bank recognises and emphasises the importance of operational risk management (“ORM”)
and manages this risk through a control-based environment where processes are documented, authorisation is
independent, transactions are reconciled and monitored and business activities are carried out within the
established guidelines, procedures and limits.
352
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
The Group’s and the Bank’s overall governance approach in managing operational risk is premised on the Three
Lines of Defence Approach:
•• 1st line of defence – The risk owner or risk taking unit i.e. Business or Support Unit is accountable for putting
in place a robust control environment within their respective units. They are responsible for the day-to-day
management of operational risk. Head of Division/Department (“HOD”) are accountable for effective
management of operational risk within their respective divisions.
To reinforce accountability and ownership of risk and control, a Risk Controller for each risk taking unit is
appointed to assist in driving the risk and control programme for the Group and the Bank.
In addition, an Embedded Risk & Compliance Unit (“ERU”) has been established within the significant
business and support units (“BU/SU”). The ERU would assist in implementing and monitoring the ORM
activities within the BU/SU. The ERU’s relationship and knowledge of the business allow for a more focused
implementation and effective oversight of ORM within the BU/SU.
•• 2nd line of defence – Operational Risk Management Department (“ORMD”) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining the ORM Framework, developing various ORM tools to facilitate the management of operational
risk, monitoring the effectiveness of ORM via an integrated operational risk management system, assessing
operational risk issues from the risk owner and escalating the issues to the relevant governance level with
recommendations on appropriate risk mitigation strategies. In creating a strong risk culture, ORMD is also
responsible to promote risk awareness across the Group and the Bank.
Shariah Risk Management Department (“SRM”), Compliance Division which includes Shariah Compliance
Department (“SCD”) and Information Security Governance (“ISGD”) complement the role of ORMD as the
second line of defence. SRM is responsible for managing the Shariah compliance risk (“SCR”) by establishing
and maintaining appropriate SRM guidelines, facilitating the process of identifying, assessing, controlling and
monitoring SCR and promoting SCR awareness.
Compliance Division is responsible for ensuring effective oversight on compliance-related risks such as
regulatory compliance risk, compliance risk as well as money laundering and terrorism financing risks through
proper classification of risks and develops, reviews and enhances compliance-related training programmes as
well as conducts training that promotes awareness creation.
SCD of Compliance Division, is responsible for reviewing and monitoring Shariah compliance of the Group’s
operations, activities and services at BU/SU level.
ISGD is responsible in managing technology risk by establishing, maintaining and enforcing technology risk
policies and guidelines, as well as promoting Bank-wide awareness on technology risk. It also works closely
with Information Technology Division (“ITD”) in identifying, assessing, mitigating and monitoring of technology
risk in the Group and the Bank.
•• 3rd line of defence – Internal Audit provides independent assurance to the Board and senior management
on the effectiveness of the ORM process.

Quoted and observable market prices where available, are used as the measure of fair values. Where such quoted
and observable market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on a range of methodologies and
assumptions regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash
flows and other factors. Changes in the assumptions could materially affect these estimates and the corresponding
fair values.
Fair value information for non-financial assets and liabilities such as investments in subsidiaries and taxation are
excluded, as they do not fall within the scope of MFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation which
requires the fair value information to be disclosed.
The fair values are based on the following methodologies and assumptions:
For deposits and placements with financial instruments with maturities of less than six months, the carrying value is
a reasonable estimate of fair values. For deposits and placements with maturities six months and above, the
estimated fair values are based on discounted cash flows using prevailing Islamic money market profit rates at which
similar deposits and placements would be made with financial instruments of similar credit risk and remaining period
to maturity.
The estimated fair values are generally based on quoted and observable market prices. Where there is no ready
market in certain securities, fair values have been estimated by reference to market indicative yields or net tangible
asset backing of the investee.
The fair values are estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using the prevailing market rates of
financing with similar credit risks and maturities.
The fair values of deposits and investment accounts are deemed to approximate their carrying amounts as rate of
returns are determined at the end of their holding periods based on the profit generated from the assets invested.
The estimated fair values of deposits and placements of banks and other financial institutions with maturities of less
than six months approximate the carrying values. For deposits and placements with maturities of six months or more,
the fair values are estimated based on discounted cash flows using prevailing money market profit rates for deposits
and placements with similar remaining period to maturities.
355
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
The estimated fair values of bills and acceptance payables with maturity of less than six months approximate their
carrying values. For bills and acceptance payable with maturities of six months or more, the fair values are estimated
based on discounted cash flows using prevailing market rates for borrowings with similar risk profiles.
MFRS 13 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are
observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources and
unobservable inputs reflect the Group’s market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
•• Level 1 – Quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities. This level includes listed
equity securities and debt instruments.
•• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). This level includes profit rate swaps and structured
debt. The sources of input parameters include BNM indicative yields or counterparty credit risk.
•• Level 3 – Inputs for asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This level
includes equity instruments and debt instruments with significant unobservable components.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value and those not carried at fair value for which fair
value is disclosed, together with their fair values and carrying amounts shown in the statement of financial position.
The table does not include those short-term/on demand financial assets and financial liabilities where the carrying
amounts are reasonable approximation of their fair values.

The following tables show the valuation techniques used in the determination of fair values within Level 3, as well as
the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation models.
Inter-relationship between
Significant significant unobservable
unobservable inputs and fair value
Type Valuation technique inputs measurement
Financial assets Net tangible assets Net tangible assets Higher net tangible assets
measured at FVOCI results in higher fair value
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values of the following classes of financial
instruments:
The fair values of securities that are actively traded is determined by quoted mid prices. For non-actively
traded securities, the fair values are estimated using valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows
analysis. Where discounted cash flows technique is used, the estimated future cash flows are discounted
using applicable prevailing market or indicative rates of similar instruments at the reporting date.
The fair values of variable rate financing are estimated to approximate their carrying values. For fixed rate
financing, the fair values are estimated based on expected future cash flows of contractual instalment
payments, discounted at applicable and prevailing rates at reporting date offered for similar facilities to new
borrowers with similar credit profiles. In respect of impaired financing, the fair values are deemed to
approximate the carrying values which are net of impairment allowances.
(iii) Subordinated Sukuk Murabahah and Recourse obligations on financing sold to Cagamas
The fair values of subordinated obligations are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows
using the applicable prevailing profit rates for borrowings with similar risk profiles.

The Plaintiff has filed a statement of claim that the Defendants are liable for loss and damage caused by
fraudulent misrepresentation, negligence, and breach of statutory duty in respect of placement of monies
amounting to RM85.5 million with the First Defendant upon representation made by Second Defendant.
BIMB Invest had on 8 December 2021 filed a Defense and subsequently, the Reply to Defense by the Plaintiff
was filed on 5 January 2022.
Case Management was fixed on 20 January 2022 and subsequently another Case Management has been fixed
on 22 February 2022 for First Defendant to inform the court on the status of the application for leave proceedings
in the Bankruptcy Court, so as to bring third party proceedings against Second Defendant.
During the Case Management held on 22 February 2022, the Plaintiff's application to serve the Writ and
Statement of Claim on the Second Defendant by way of substituted service was allowed by the Court and the
First Defendant to file and serve the Third Party Notice on the Second Defendant. The next case management
was fixed on 22 March 2022.
The potential liability of BIMB Invest if there was an adverse decision related to the claim is estimated to be
approximately RM71.3 million.
The possible obligation towards BIMB Invest to settle the litigation claim are subject to decision by the court and
as the case are still preliminary, the settlement to the litigation claim may not be probable at this juncture and
therefore no provision is recognised in the financial statements.
To ensure that banks build up adequate capital buffer outside period of stress, a Capital Conservation Buffer (“CCB”)
of 2.5% above the minimum capital adequacy was introduced by BNM. The CCB is maintained in the form of CET I
Capital above the minimum CET I Capital, Tier I Capital and Total Capital adequacy at 2.5% starting 1 January 2019
onwards.
Therefore, the minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios requirement for CET I capital ratio, Tier I capital ratio and
Total Capital ratio are 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5% respectively starting year 2019 onwards. The Group and the Bank have
adopted the Standardised Approach for Credit Risk and Market Risk and the Basic Indicator Approach for Operational

The above disclosure on Credit Transaction and Exposures with Connected Parties is presented in accordance with
Para 9.1 of Bank Negara Malaysia’s Revised Guidelines on Credit Transaction and Exposures with Connected Parties.
The COVID-19 effects have a material negative impact on the Group's and the Bank's results of operations. In
particular, the process to determine expected credit losses (“ECL”) requires numerous estimates and assumptions,
some of which require a high degree of judgement. Changes in the estimates and assumptions can result in
significant changes in ECL. The Group and the Bank are not able to predict the COVID-19’s potential future direct or
indirect effects other than as disclosed in Note 39(b)(iii). However, the Group and the Bank are taking actions to
mitigate the impacts, and will continue to closely monitor the impact and the related risks as they evolve.

Proposed placement of new ordinary shares in BHB to raise gross proceeds of up to RM800 million. The
proceeds together with internal cash will be used to fully settle BHB’s outstanding sukuk.
Proposed payment to the warrantholder of the outstanding warrants 2013/2023 of BHB by way of a scheme of
arrangement under section 366 of the Companies Act 2016 (“the Act”). The total warrants consideration to be
paid by BHB will be funded using internally generated funds of BHB.
The proposed internal reorganisation entails the disposal of BHB’s entire shareholdings in the identified
subsidiaries namely BIMB Securities (Holdings) Sdn. Bhd., BIMB Securities Sdn. Bhd. and Syarikat Al Ijarah Sdn.
Bhd. to the Bank to be fully settled in cash.

BHB in accordance with Section 115 and Section 116 of the Act as well as using the retained earnings of BHB.
Prior to the proposed distribution and capital repayment, BHB will undergo a capital reduction and the Bank will
undertake a share consolidation. This is to match BHB’s outstanding shares so that the distribution of the Bank
shares will be on a one-for-one basis.
Concurrently with the completion of the proposed distribution and capital repayment, BHB will issue two (2) new
BHB shares to the Bank such that BHB will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank Islam.
After the completion of the proposed distribution and capital repayment, the Bank will assume the listing status
of BHB. Accordingly, BHB proposed that the Bank be admitted to the official list of Bursa Securities in place of
BHB, with the listing and quotation of the entire consolidated the Bank shares on the main market of Bursa
Securities.
The Bank will emerge as the first pure-play full-fledged Islamic financial institution to be listed in the region and
enhance its corporate stature. The listing will allows Bank Islam to better position itself in the Islamic finance and
Islamic capital market and capitalise on the growth of both markets in its efforts to expand its customer base.

PILLAR 3
DISCLOSURE
as at 31 December 2021
OVERVIEW
The Pillar 3 Disclosure for financial year ended 31 December 2021 for Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (“the Bank”) and its
subsidiaries (“the Group”) describes the risk profile, risk management practices and capital adequacy position in
accordance with the disclosure requirements governed by Bank Negara Malaysia’s (“BNM”) “Capital Adequacy Framework
for Islamic Banks (“CAFIB”) – Disclosure Requirements (“Pillar 3”)”.
The Group adopts the following approaches in determining the capital requirements of Pillar 1 in accordance with BNM’s
Guidelines on CAFIB (Basel II – Risk Weighted Assets (“RWA”)) since January 2008:
Under the Standardised Approach, standard risk weights are used to assess the capital requirements whilst under the
Basic Indicator Approach, the capital requirements are computed based on a fixed percentage over the Group’s average
gross income for a fixed number of quarterly periods.
As required under Pillar 2, the Group has also developed an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”)
framework which closely integrates the risk and capital assessment processes and ensures that adequate levels of capital
are maintained to support the Group’s current and projected demand for capital under expected and stressed conditions.
The ICAAP was adopted in 2012 and has been fully implemented since 2013. The ICAAP is updated and approved on an
annual basis by the Management Committee, Board Risk Committee (“BRC”) and Board of Directors (“Board”).
BASIS OF DISCLOSURE
The Pillar 3 Disclosure is prepared in accordance with BNM’s Pillar 3 Disclosure Guidelines issued in July 2010 and the
Group’s internal policy on Pillar 3 Disclosure; which aims to enhance transparency on the risk management practices and
capital adequacy of the Bank and the Group. The disclosures include both qualitative and quantitative disclosures with
respect to capital adequacy, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, management of Investment Account (IA)
and key aspects of Shariah governance.
Whilst this document discloses the Group’s assets both in terms of exposures and capital requirements, the information
disclosed herein may not be directly comparable with the information in the Full-Year Financial Statements 2021 published
by the Group.
These disclosures have been reviewed and verified by the Group Internal Auditor and attested by the Group Chief
Executive Officer.

2. CAPITAL ADEQUACY
2.1 Capital Management
The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to maintain a strong capital position to support
business growth and to maintain investors, depositors, customers, and market confidence. In line with this, the
Group manages its capital actively and ensures that the capital adequacy ratios which take into account the risk
profile of the Group, are above the regulatory minimum requirement.
To ensure that the Group has sufficient capital to support all its business and risk-taking activities, the Group has
implemented a sound capital management process in its management systems and processes. A comprehensive
capital management framework has been adopted by the Group as a key enabler for value creation which is
important to the long-term survival of the Group. This comprehensive capital management process includes
thorough risk assessment and risk management techniques that are embedded within the Group’s risk
governance.
The assessment is based on the approved business plan, its estimation of current risks inherent in the Group
and the impact of capital stress tests on the Group’s capital plan. The Group aims to achieve the following capital
management objectives:
The Group’s capital management is guided by the Capital Management Plan, approved by the Board, to ensure
the management of capital is consistent and aligned with the Group’s Risk Appetite Statement and ICAAP
Document Policy.
•• apital Structuring – ensuring that the amount of regulatory and statutory capital available is consistent with
C
the Group’s growth plan, risk appetite, and desired level of capital adequacy. Capital structuring focuses on
selecting appropriate, most cost-effective mix of capital instruments;
•• Capital Allocation – ensuring that the capital is employed efficiently across the Group based on risk-adjusted
return on capital; and
•• Capital Optimisation – seeking an optimal level of capital by facilitating the optimisation of the risk profile of
the balance sheet. This will be done through:
•• reshaping of the balance sheet;
•• capital planning, allocation and optimisation; and
•• a sound management of the capital buffer.
As such, the four fundamental components of a sound capital planning process include:

R
•• Risk not fully captured under Pillar 1 (e.g. Migration and Residual Risk); and
•• Risk not covered under Pillar 1 (e.g. Credit Concentration Risk, Profit Rate in the Banking Book, Shariah Non-
Compliance Risk, Regulatory/Compliance Risk, Contagion Risk, and IT Risk).
•• I dentifying the possible events or future changes in the financial and economic conditions of the country and
globally that could potentially have unfavourable effects on the Group’s exposures;
•• Identifying the different portfolios response to changes in key economic variables (profit rate, foreign
exchange rate, GDP, etc);
•• Evaluating the Group’s ability to withstand such changes, i.e. its capacity in terms of its capital and earnings,
to absorb potentially significant losses; and
•• Analysing the Group’s ability to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirement at all times throughout a
reasonably severe economic crisis.
The Group has put in place a stress testing programme (including reverse stress testing) which has taken into
account all risks deemed material to the Group, namely credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and operational risk
including Shariah non-compliance risk, regulatory compliance risk, contagion risk and IT risk.
In line with the Group’s Stress Testing Policy, ad-hoc and more frequent stress testing has been conducted to
assess the impact of deterioration on specific risk areas, in line with stressed macroeconomic variables. The
impact of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak such as repayment assistance, vulnerable portfolio and liquidity risk to
the Group were assessed to ensure the Group’s ability to maintain adequate capital under stressed condition.

Total capital and capital adequacy ratios of the Group have been computed based on the updated BNM’s CAFIB
- Capital Components Guideline issued on 9 December 2020 and BNM’s CAFIB – RWA Guideline issued on 3 May
2019. The minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios requirement for CET 1 capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio and
TCR including capital buffers i.e., Capital Conservation Buffers (“CCB”) are 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5% respectively.
The CCB is intended to encourage the build-up of capital buffers by individual Islamic banking institutions during
normal times that can be drawn down during stress periods.
The table below shows the composition of the regulatory capital and capital adequacy ratios as of 31 December
2021, determined by the requirements of the CAFIB. The capital adequacy ratios of the Group and Bank are set

R
•• Reaches an optimum level of risk-return in order to maximise stakeholders’ value; and
•• Ensures effective and integrated risk management processes that are commensurate with the size and
complexity of the current and future operations of the Group within its risk appetite and tolerance.
The Group has established the Group Risk Appetite Statement Policy that forms an integral part of the Group’s
strategy and business plans. Risk appetite is an expression of the maximum level of risk that the Group is
prepared to accept in support of a stated strategy, impacting all businesses from a credit, market and operational
risk viewpoint.
4. CREDIT RISK
4.1 Overview
Credit risk is the risk of a customer or counterparty failing to fulfil its financial obligations in accordance with
agreed terms. It arises from all transactions that could lead to actual, contingent or potential claims against any
party, customer or obligor (collectively referred to as counterparties). The types of credit risks that the Group
considers to be material include: Default Risk, Counterparty Risk, Credit Concentration Risk, Residual/Credit
Mitigation Risk and Migration Risk.
The Group has several levels of Financing Committees, which assess and approve credits at their specified
authority levels.
MRCC is responsible under the authority delegated by BRC for managing credit risk at strategic level. MRCC
reviews the Group’s credit risk policies and guidelines, aligns credit risk management with business strategies
and planning, reviews credit profile of the credit portfolios and recommends necessary actions to ensure that
the credit risk remains within established risk tolerance levels.
The Group’s credit risk management governance includes the establishment of detailed credit risk policies,
guidelines and procedures which document the Group’s financing standards, discretionary powers for financing
approval, credit risk ratings methodologies and models, acceptable collaterals and valuation, and the review,
rehabilitation and restructuring of problematic and delinquent financing.

4.3 Management of Credit Risk
The management of credit risk is being performed by the Group Credit Management Division (“CMD”) and Group
Risk Management Division (“RMD”) and two other units outside of CMD and RMD domain, namely, Credit
Administration Department and Recovery & Rehabilitation Division. The combined objectives are, amongst
others:
•• o build a high quality credit portfolio which is in line with the Group’s overall strategy and risk appetite;
T
•• To ensure that the Group is compensated for the risk taken, balancing/optimising the risk/return relationship;
•• To develop an increasing ability to recognise, measure and avoid or mitigate potential credit risk problem
areas; and
•• To conform with statutory, regulatory and internal credit requirements.
The Group monitors its credit exposures either on a portfolio basis or individual basis through annual reviews.
Credit risk is proactively monitored through a set of early warning signals that could trigger immediate reviews
of (a certain part of) the portfolio. The affected portfolio or financing is placed on a watchlist to enforce close
monitoring and prevent financing from turning impaired and to increase chances of full recovery.
A detailed limit structure is in place to ensure that risks taken are within the risk appetite as set by the Board
and to avoid credit risk concentration on a single customer, sector, product, etc.
Credit risk arising from dealing and investing activities are managed by the establishment of limits which include
counterparty limits and permissible acquisition of private entities’ instruments, subject to a specified minimum
rating threshold. Furthermore, the dealing and investing activities are monitored by an independent middle
office unit.

A financing is classified as impaired when the principal or profit or both are past due for three months or
more, or where a financing is in arrears for less than three months, but the financing exhibits indications of
significant credit weakness.
The financing or group of financings is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the financing
(a ‘loss event’) and that the loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financing or
group of financings that can be reliably estimated.
The Group and the Bank first assess individually whether the objective evidence of impairment exists
individually for financings which are individually significant, and collectively for financings which are not
individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually
assessed financing, the financing is included in a group of financings with similar credit risk characteristic
and collectively assessed for impairment.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured
as the difference between the financing’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future
cash flows. The carrying amount of the financing is reduced through the use of an allowance account and
the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

4.7 Assignment of Risk Weights for Portfolios Under the Standardised Approach
Under the Standardised Approach, the Group makes use of credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies in
the calculation of credit risk-weighted assets. The following are the rating agencies or External Credit Assessment
Institutions (“ECAI”) ratings used by the Group and are recognised by BNM as per the CAFIB Guideline:
The ECAI ratings accorded to the following counterparty exposure classes are used in the calculation of risk-
weighted assets for capital adequacy purposes:
408
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
As a general rule, the rating specific to the credit exposure is used, i.e. the issue rating. Where no specific rating
exists, the credit rating assigned to the issuer or counterparty of that particular credit exposure is used. In cases
where an exposure has neither an issue nor an issuer rating, it is deemed as unrated or the rating of another
rated obligation of the same counterparty may be used if the exposure is ranked at least pari passu with the
obligation that is rated, as stipulated in the CAFIB Guideline.
Where a counterparty or an exposure is rated by more than one ECAI, the second highest rating is used to
determine the risk weight. In cases where the credit exposures are secured by guarantees issued by eligible or
rated guarantors, the risk weights similar to that of the guarantor are assigned.
The below table summarises the rules governing the assignment of risk weights under the Standardised
Approach:
Rating

The types of collaterals accepted by the Group would have an impact on the calculation of the Group’s capital
adequacy as the quality and the type of collaterals determine whether the Group is able to obtain capital relief
and the extent of such relief. Capital relief is defined as the assignment of a lower or zero risk weight to the
counterparty exposure by setting off or reducing the counterparty exposure against the collateral value.
The main types of collaterals obtained by the Group to mitigate credit risks are as follows:
The reliance that can be placed on CRM is carefully assessed in light of issues such as compliance with Shariah
rules and principles, legal enforceability, market value and counterparty credit risk of the guarantor. The Group
has put in place policies and procedures which govern the determination of eligibility of various collaterals to
protect the Group’s position from the onset of a customer relationship on the CRM, for instance, in requiring
standard terms and conditions or specifically agreed upon documentation to ensure the legal enforceability of
the credit risk mitigants.
In order to obtain a fair assessment of collateral securing the financing facility, a valuation is performed
periodically ranging from weekly to annually, depending on the type, liquidity and volatility of the collateral value.
In mitigating the counterparty credit risks arising from foreign exchange and derivatives transactions, the Group
enters into master agreements that provide for closeout netting with counterparties, whenever possible. A
master agreement that governs all transactions between the two parties, creates a greater legal certainty that
the netting of outstanding obligations can be enforced upon termination of outstanding transactions if an event
of default occurs.

5. MARKET RISK
5.1 Overview
All the Group’s financial instruments are subject to the risk that market prices and rates will move, resulting in
profit or losses to the Group. The following are the main market risk factors that the Group is exposed to:
•• rofit Rate Risk: also known as the Rate of Return Risk is the potential impact on the Group’s profitability
P
and capital caused by changes in the rate of return, due to general market movements or issuer/customer
specific reasons;
•• Foreign Exchange Risk: the impact of exchange rate movements on the Group’s currency positions;
•• Equity Investment Risk: the profitability impact on the Group’s equity positions or investments caused by
changes in equity prices or values;
The Group separates the market risk exposures into either trading book or banking book portfolios. Trading book
portfolios include those positions arising from market making, proprietary position taking and other marked-to-
market positions as per the Board approved Trading Book Policy Statements. Banking book portfolios primarily
arise from the Group’s profit rate management of the Group’s asset & liabilities and investment portfolio mainly
for liquidity management.
ALCO is responsible under the authority delegated by BRC for managing market risk at strategic level.
All market risk exposures are managed by Treasury, who has the necessary skills, tools, management and
governance to manage such risks. The management of market risk is guided by comprehensive limits, policies
and guidelines which are periodically reviewed.
Market Risk Management Department (“MRMD”) is an independent risk control function and is responsible for
ensuring effective implementation of market risk management framework. MRMD is also responsible for
developing and reviewing the Group’s market risk management guidelines and policies, monitoring tools,
behavioural assumptions and limit setting methodologies. Strict escalation procedures are documented and
approved by ALCO and/or BRC. In addition, the market risk exposures and limits are regularly reported to ALCO
and BRC.
Other controls to ensure that market risk exposures remain within tolerable levels include regular stress testing,
ad-hoc simulations, and rigorous new product approval procedures. Stress test results are produced regularly to
determine the impact of changes in profit rates, foreign exchange rates and other risk factors on the Group’s
profitability, capital adequacy and liquidity. The stress test provides the Management and BRC with an
assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme events on the market risk exposures of the Group.

Profit rate risk in the banking book portfolio is managed and controlled using measurement tools known
as Earnings-at-Risk (“EaR”) and Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”). The Group monitors the sensitivity of EaR
and EVE under varying profit rate scenarios (i.e., simulation modelling). The model is a combination of
standard and non-standard scenarios relevant to the local market. The standard scenarios include the
parallel fall or rise in the profit rate curve and historical simulation. These scenarios assume no management
action. Hence, it does not incorporate actions that would be taken by Treasury to mitigate the impact of the
profit rate risk. In reality, depending on the view on future market movements, Treasury would proactively
manage and strategise to change the profit rate exposure profile to minimise losses and to optimise net
revenues. The Group’s hedging and risk mitigation strategies range from the use of derivative financial
instruments, such as profit rate swaps, to more intricate hedging strategies to address inordinate profit rate
risk exposures.
The table below shows the Group’s and Bank’s profit rate sensitivity to a 1501 basis points parallel shift as at
reporting date.

Based on BNM’s revised RORBB reporting requirements, the Group’s and the Bank’s reporting were revised from 100bps to
150bps parallel shock effective 1 January 2021.

Market risk in the trading book portfolio is monitored and managed using Value-at-Risk (“VaR”). It is a
technique that estimates the potential losses that could occur as a result of market rates movements over
a specified time horizon and to a given level of confidence. The VaR model used by the Bank is based on
historical simulation which derives plausible future scenarios from the past series of recorded market rates
and prices. The historical simulation model used by the Bank incorporates the following features:
•• otential market movements are calculated with reference to data from the past two years;
P
•• Historical market rates are calculated with reference to foreign exchange rates and profit rates; and
•• VaR is calculated using a 99 per cent confidence level and for a one-day holding period.
A summary of the VaR position of the Bank’s trading book portfolios as at the reporting date is as follows:

The Bank manages and controls the trading book portfolio’s foreign exchange risk by limiting the net open
exposure to individual currencies and on an aggregate basis. For the Bank-wide (trading and banking
portfolios) foreign exchange risk, the Bank manages and controls by limiting the net open exposure on an
aggregate basis.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Bank has a sensitivity limit for managing the foreign exchange risk in place. The foreign currency
revaluation sensitivity for the Bank as at reporting date is summarised as follows (only net open position for
major currencies are shown in its specific currency in the table below. For other currencies, these exposures
are grouped as “Others”):
6. LIQUIDITY RISK
6.1 Overview
Liquidity risk is the risk of adverse impact to the financial condition of the Group, or the soundness of the Group
being adversely affected by an inability (or perceived inability) to meet its contractual obligations. This risk can
arise from mismatches in the timing of cash flows.
The Group maintains a diversified and stable funding base comprising retail and corporate customer deposits.
This is augmented by wholesale funding and highly liquid assets portfolios.
The objectives of the Group’s liquidity management are to ensure that all foreseeable funding commitments and
deposit withdrawals can be met when due and that wholesale market access remains accessible and cost
effective.
Savings accounts, current accounts, investment accounts (IA) and term deposits form a critical part of the
Group’s funding profile and the Group places considerable importance on maintaining their stability. The stability
depends upon preserving depositors’ confidence in the Group and the Group’s capital strength and liquidity, and
on competitive and transparent pricing.

•• aily projection of cash flows and ensuring that the Group has sufficient liquidity surplus and reserves to
D
sustain a sudden liquidity shock;
•• Projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary in relation thereto;
•• Maintaining liabilities of appropriate term relative to the asset base;
•• Maintaining a diverse range of funding sources with adequate back-up facilities;
•• Monitoring depositor concentration in order to avoid undue reliance on large individual depositors and ensure
a satisfactory overall funding mix; and
•• Managing the maturities and diversifying funding liabilities across products and counterparties.
•• aintaining sufficient liquidity surplus and reserves to sustain a sudden liquidity shock;
M
•• Ensuring that cash flows are relatively diversified across all maturities;
•• Ensuring that the deposit base is not overly concentrated on a relatively small number of depositors;
•• Maintaining sufficient borrowing capacity in the Interbank market and highly liquid financial assets to back it
up; and
•• Not over-extending financing activities relative to the deposit base.
MRMD is an independent risk control function and is responsible for ensuring efficient implementation of
liquidity risk framework. It is also responsible for developing the Group’s liquidity risk management guidelines,
monitoring tools, behavioural assumptions and limit setting methodologies. Strict escalation procedures are
documented and approved by ALCO and/or BRC, with proper authorities to ratify or approve the excess. In
addition, the liquidity risk exposures and limits are regularly reported to ALCO and BRC.
Stress testing and scenario analysis are important tools used by the Group to manage the liquidity risk. Stress
test results are produced regularly to determine the impact of a sudden liquidity shock. The stress-testing
provides the Management and BRC with an assessment of the financial impact of identified extreme events on
the liquidity and funding risk exposures of the Group.
Another key control feature of the Group’s liquidity risk management is the liquidity contingency management
plans. These plans identify the pre-emptive quantitative and qualitative indicators of stress conditions arising
from systemic or other crises and provide guidance on actions to be taken in order to minimise the adverse
implications to the Group.

7. OPERATIONAL RISK
7.1 Overview
Operational Risk is defined as the “risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and
systems or from external events, which includes legal risk and Shariah non-compliance risk but excludes strategic
and reputational risk”.
It is inherent in all banking products, activities, processes and systems and the effective management of
operational risk has always been a fundamental element of a bank’s risk management programme.
BRC is a committee of Board to oversee the Management’s activities in managing risks for the Group, including
operational risk. Its roles, with regard to ORM, include reviewing and recommending ORM Policy, strategies and
risk appetite for Board’s approval.
MRCC, under the authority delegated by BRC is responsible to perform the oversight function and to ensure
effective management of issues relating to operational risk at strategic level. Operational Risk Control Committee
(“ORCC”) which is a sub-committee of MRCC is primarily responsible in ensuring effective implementation and
maintenance of policies, processes, and systems for managing operational risk for the Group.
Notwithstanding the above, the various Business & Support Units (“BU/SU”) are responsible for managing
operational risk within their respective domains on a day-to-day basis and ensuring that their business &
operational activities are carried out within the established ORM policies, guidelines, procedures and limits. To
reinforce accountability and ownership of risk & control at BU/SU level, a Risk Controller (“RC”) for each BU/SU is
appointed and Embedded Risk and Compliance Unit (“ERU”) is established at selected BU/SU to assist in driving
the risk & control programme for the Group.
Ultimately, all staff of the Group are to ensure they properly discharge their day-to-day responsibilities and are
well-equipped with the necessary knowledge including the policies and procedures in executing their job
functions. This is in line with our Risk Management Tagline, i.e., “Managing Risk is Everyone’s Business”.
426
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
The Group’s overall governance approach in managing operational risk is premised on the Three Lines of Defence
Approach:
a) 1st Line of Defence – The risk owner or risk-taking unit i.e., BU/SU is accountable for putting in place a
robust control environment within their respective units. They are responsible for the day-to-day management
of operational risk. To reinforce accountability and ownership of risk and control within 1st Line of Defence,
the RC is appointed at each BU/SU and ERU is established at selected BU/SU.
2nd Line of Defence – Operational Risk Management Department (“ORMD”) is responsible for establishing
and maintaining the ORM Policy and its supporting guidelines/manuals, developing methodologies and
various ORM tools to facilitate the management of operational risk, monitoring the effectiveness of ORM,
assessing operational risk issues from the risk owner and escalating operational risk issues to the relevant
governance level with recommendations on appropriate risk mitigation strategies. In creating a strong risk
culture, ORMD is also responsible to promote risk awareness across the Group. Shariah Risk Management
Unit (“SRMU”), which forms part of ORMD, is responsible for managing the Shariah non-compliance risk
(“SNCR”) by establishing and maintaining appropriate guidelines on Shariah Risk Management (SRM) by
facilitating the process of identifying, assessing, controlling, and monitoring SNCR and promoting SNCR
awareness.
Group Compliance Division, which includes Shariah Compliance Department and Group Information Security
& Governance Division (“ISGD”) complement the role of ORMD as the 2nd Line of Defence.
Group Compliance Division is responsible for ensuring effective oversight on compliance-related risks such
as regulatory compliance risk, compliance risk, corruption risk, money laundering and terrorism financing
risks through proper classification of risks and developing, reviewing, and enhancing compliance-related
training programmes, as well as conducting trainings that promote awareness creation. Shariah Compliance
Department under Group Compliance Division is responsible for reviewing and monitoring Shariah
compliance of the Group’s operations, activities, and services at BU/SU level.
ISGD is responsible in managing information technology risk by establishing, maintaining, and enforcing
information technology risk policies/guidelines and it works closely with Group Technology Division in
identifying, assessing, mitigating, and monitoring of information technology risk in the Group.
b) 3rd Line of Defence – Group Internal Audit including Shariah Audit Department provides independent
assurance to the Board and senior management on the effectiveness of the ORM and SRM process.

•• Analysis and reporting of qualitative and quantitative results from various ORM tools.
Scenario Analysis
•• A systematic and forward-looking tool of obtaining expert opinions to derive new risks, test the efficiency
of existing controls and highlights unexpected risks.
In addition, a comprehensive Business Continuity Management (“BCM”) function has been established within the
Group to ensure that in the event of material disruptions from internal or external events, critical business
functions can be maintained or restored in a timely manner. This ensures minimal adverse impact on customers,
staff and products and services. BCM constitutes an essential component of the Group’s risk management
process by providing a controlled response to potential operational risk that could have a significant impact on
the Group’s critical processes and revenue streams. The Group is also continuously reviewing its critical business
operations’ resilience through regular testing and dependencies assessment on its assets (systems, data, third
parties, facilities, processes and people) in order to ensure it has the required capability and resources to
effectively prepare for different disruption events.
428
I N T EG R AT ED A N N UA L R EP O R T 2 0 2 1
The Group also ensures that the group-wide Operational Risk awareness programme is conducted on an
ongoing basis. This training programme emphasises on inculcating an operational risk culture among staff,
effective implementation of ORM tools, fraud awareness, BCM and other aspects of ORM.
8. SHARIAH GOVERNANCE
8.1 Overview
By virtue of BNM’s Shariah Governance Policy Document (“SGPD”), the Group has established a sound and
robust Shariah governance framework with the emphasis placed on the roles of its key functionalities, which
include having in place an effective and responsible Board and Management and an independent Shariah
Supervisory Council (“SSC”) that is supported by strong and competent internal Shariah functions.
As part of the robust Shariah governance framework, to date, the Group has put in place the Shariah Compliance
Policy, Shariah Compliance Guideline, Business Zakat Guideline and Charity Fund Management Guideline. These
help to ensure the Group’s business activities and behaviours are in compliance with Shariah rules and principles,
provisions of the Islamic Financial Services Act (“IFSA”) 2013, BNM’s SGPD and its other rules and regulations, and
the resolutions of BNM and Securities Commission (“SC”)’s Shariah Advisory Council and the SSC.
In addition to this, the Risk Loss Event Management and Reporting (‘’RLEMR”) Guideline provides sound
mechanism on Shariah non-compliance (“SNC”) management and reporting, in order to ensure the Group strictly
complies with Shariah rules and principles, as well as the regulatory requirements. The guideline has been
established to be in line with the mechanism set out by BNM’s Operational Risk Reporting Requirement –
Operational Risk Integrated Online Network (“ORION”) and to ensure compliance with section 28(3) of the IFSA
2013 which requires any SNC event to be immediately reported to BNM. Additionally, pursuant to this guideline,
any actual SNC events caused by operational lapses including negligence, breach of policies and lack of due care
by staff may be subject to disciplinary action.
Being part of operational risk, Shariah risk management leverages on the same ORM principles, processes, and
tools. The responsibility of managing SNCR is spearheaded by the Group’s Shariah Risk Management Unit
(“SRMU”). In general, all ORM tools are extended to the process of managing SNCR. However, the tools are
modified to suit the regulatory requirements on Shariah governance in order to provide a robust and consistent
approach in managing SNCR.

Throughout the year 2021, there were five (5) incidents confirmed as SNC events by the SSC. In brief, the SNC
events were related to non-execution of aqad for deposit-based product, outdated form used for account
opening and incomprehensive product structure for the purpose of vehicle refinancing. None of these events
have financial impact that contributed to SNC Income. To prevent similar recurrence, the Group is continuously
improving its Shariah compliance culture through the issuance of reminders, conducting on-going awareness
trainings, as well as establishing additional controls to ensure compliance with Shariah requirements.
RM41,182.96 RM59,960.47
The main contributors of the SNC income for 2021 were commissions from third party investment product
offering (RM31,728.68) and commissions from SNC merchants of card business (RM9,454.28). The amount was
disposed to charitable causes upon SSC’s approval.
All SNC events and rectification plans were presented and approved by the Board/SSC and reported to BNM in
accordance with the prescribed reporting requirement by the regulator.
9. INVESTMENT ACCOUNT
9.1 Overview
Islamic Financial Services Act 2013 (“IFSA”) distinguishes investment account (IA) from Islamic deposits, where
Shariah contracts that need to be applied for IA products are non-principal guaranteed, while Shariah contracts
for deposit products are principal guaranteed.
In line with the implementation of the IFSA, the Group has developed investment account products based on
Mudarabah and Wakalah contracts.
Mudarabah is a contract between a customer as capital provider and the Group as an entrepreneur under which
the customer provides capital to be managed by the Group and any profit generated is shared according to a
mutually agreed profit-sharing ratio (PSR) whilst financial losses are borne by the customer provided that such
losses are not due to the Group’s misconduct, negligence or breach of specified terms.

Clause 142 of the Company’s Constitution provides that the Directors shall have power at any time and from time
to time to appoint any person to be a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors.
Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting and shall then be
eligible for re-election but shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation
at that meeting.
Based on the number of Directors who are subject to retirement by rotation under Clause 133 of the Company’s
Constitution, two (2) out of seven (7) Directors shall retire at this 39th AGM. Datuk Nik Mohd Hasyudeen Yusoff and
Encik Mohd Yuzaidi Mohd Yusoff will retire by rotation at this 39th AGM and being eligible, have offered themselves
for re-election as Directors of the Company.
During the year under review, there are four (4) new Directors being appointed to the Company. According to Clause
142 of the Company’s Constitution, all four (4) Directors, namely, Dato’ Sri Amrin Awaluddin (appointed on 10 September
2021), Encik Mohd Asri Awang (appointed on 1 October 2021), Datuk Bazlan Osman and Puan Nuraini Ismail (both
appointed on 7 January 2022) will retire at this 39th AGM and being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election
as Directors of the Company.
The Board Nomination and Remuneration Committee (“BNRC”) of the Company has considered the performance
and contribution of each retiring Director and has also assessed the independence of the Independent Non-Executive
Directors seeking re-election.
Based on the results of the annual Board Effectiveness Evaluation conducted for the financial year ended 31 December
2021, the performance for each of the retiring Director was found to be satisfactory (rated between 4.1 to 4.3) with
the exception of Datuk Bazlan Osman and Puan Nuraini Ismail who were evaluated separately as they were appointed
on 7 January 2022. In addition, all retiring Directors met with all the requirements of fit and proper criteria issued
by Bank Negara Malaysia. The retiring Independent Non-Executive Directors have also fulfilled the independence
criteria as set out in the BNM CG Policy, the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
as well as the Company’s Board Charter. All the retiring Directors have no record of adverse finding under MACC
Act 2009, LEXIS NEXIS, Insolvency Act or for any mismanagement that could adversely affect the Company.
The Board had endorsed the BNRC’s recommendation on the re-election of the retiring Directors. The retiring
Directors had abstained from deliberation and decisions on their re-election at the BNRC and Board meetings.
The Board is of the collective view that all of the said Directors who are retiring at this 39th AGM have satisfactorily
discharged their roles and responsibilities to act in the best interest of the Company. The Board is satisfied that,
considering their wealth of expertise and experience that the retiring Directors possess and brings to the Board,
shall further strengthen the Board composition and dynamic.
The profiles of the Directors seeking for re-election are set out on pages 137 to 142 under Profile of Directors’ section
of the Company’s Integrated Annual Report 2021.
453
B A N K I S L A M M A L AY S I A B E R H A D
The Proposed fees to be paid to each Non-Executive Directors from this AGM to the next AGM of the Company is
based on the following fee structure which has not changed since it was first approved by the shareholder at
34th AGM held on 6 Maye 2017:
The fee structure is reasonable after benchmarking and taking into account prevailing market and economic conditions
as well as practices of other comparable companies in the market.
The benefits payable to Non-Executive Directors comprise allowances, benefits-in-kind and other emoluments payable
to them, details of which are tabulated below:
a) Car Allowance
- Chairman - RM10,000 per month
b) Senior Independent Director’ Allowance - RM2,000 per month
c) Other Benefits
- Includes benefits that are claimable or otherwise such as leave passage, medical and insurance benefits and

be paid as benefits to eligible Non-Executive Directors from this AGM to the next AGM of the Company will be paid
on monthly basis and/or as and when claimed or incurred.
For shareholders’ ease of reference, the Board had endorsed the BNRC’s recommendation to provide the breakdown
of the total fees and other benefits to be paid to NEDs from the 39th AGM until the 40th AGM as follows:-
Taking into consideration there will be more meeting to discuss on the strategic matters, the Company anticipates
higher number of meetings in 2022/2023, i.e., 83 meetings (2021/2022: 78 meetings). The detail on the fees to be
paid to the NEDs are as follows:-
Based on the above computation, the total fees (retaining and sitting fees together with other benefits) will be
RM4,538,500.00, slightly higher than the amount approved by the shareholder of RM4,211,007.00 at the 38th AGM on
