AmBank is paying what equates to 30% of its market value for its part in Malaysia's 1MDB sovereign fund scandal, more than four times Goldman Sach's ratio. AmBank’s fine is ominous for global banks yet to draw a line under the affair, writes ugalani

Malaysian banking group AMMB on Feb. 26 said that it will pay the government some 2.8 billion ringgit to settle claims linked to the financial scandal involving sovereign wealth fund 1MDB.

Last year former Prime Minister Najib Razak, who set up the fund in 2009, was found guilty of corruption and money laundering over the transfer of millions of dollars linked to a 1MDB unit into his AmBank accounts between 2014 and 2015. AmBank’s core equity Tier 1 capital ratio will fall from 13.5% to 11% after the settlement, the bank estimated in a statement. As a result, the bank said it did not plan to pay a final dividend for the year to March.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group will take a A$212 million write-down on the carrying value of its 24% stake in AmBank. That will lower its earnings for the first half of fiscal 2021, Australia’s fourth-largest bank said in a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange.Source: REUTERS/Lim Huey Teng
