Let’s look at some situations people face during this recession, which is affecting more and more people nowadays:
It is expected that interest rates will be cut by the federal banks to reduce the cost of borrowing. Hopefully this will help some businesses to get through their cash flow problem. At the same time, it may “encourage” people to take the money out of their saving accounts, and use it at other areas such as investment, or just simply spend it to help drive consumer spending.
The lower interest rate affect the return of the poor since most of them don’t know what to do with their money except keeping it in the fixed deposit. How about borrowing money to invest (buying properties etc)? The poor don’t know where to invest. Moreover, banks are reluctant to lend money to them, especially during a recession.
How about the rich? They can borrow money at lower cost because the banks know that the rich are capable of making more money out of the loan.
In the subprime incident, poor people borrow more money on their own inflated residence. When house price drops, they owe bank more money than the value of their home, causing negative equity.
You may say that the rich has more real estates, and mostly acquired for investment purposes. Yes, in fact the rich lose more value in their properties holding. But don’t forget that the rich buy properties for the rental income yield. For the worst case, they may have to sell a few properties at a significant loss. Yet, they are still rich. For instance, they make $50k per month from rental properties during good time, but only make $30k during this recession. Anyway, they still make more money than the poor.
The rich own the companies. They downsize by firing the poor, so that they can keep their money and companies.
Inevitably, their companies’ valuations tumble. Let’s say from $100million to $50million. They are still multi-millionaire. They still drive a big car. They still stay at their comfortable home. They still go for vacation.
But the poor has lost their job, in deep debt, and find themselves very difficult to find jobs elsewhere.

Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP), hari ini dengan kelulusan Menteri Kewangan mengisytiharkan kadar dividen 4.50 peratus bagi tahun 2008 lebih rendah dari tahun 2007 5.8%. Kadar dividen yang lebih rendah berbanding 2007 disebabkan peningkatan peruntukan rosot nilai pelaburan kesan penurunan mendadak harga pasaran ekuiti global yang dicetuskan oleh krisis kewangan dunia.
Di sebalik krisis kewangan itu, KWSP mencatatkan pendapatan kasar tertinggi pernah dicapai sebanyak RM20 bilion pada tahun 2008, meningkat 9.36 peratus berbanding pendapatan kasar tahun sebelumnya sebanyak RM18.29 bilion.
Bagaimanapun, susulan kejatuhan menjunam nilai pasaran ekuiti, sejumlah besar peruntukan rosot nilai pelaburan perlu dibuat yang menyebabkan penurunan ketara pendapatan bersih.
Pendapatan bersih pada 2008 ialah RM14.26 bilion selepas ditolak peruntukan rosot nilai ekuiti dan hutang ragu, bayaran dividen untuk pengeluaran, perbelanjaan pelaburan, perbelanjaan operasi dan bayaran manfaat kematian serta hilang upaya.
Ini adalah penurunan 15.47 peratus berbanding pendapatan bersih 2007 sebanyak RM16.87 bilion. Ekuiti masih adalah antara penyumbang terbesar kepada pulangan KWSP pada 2008, mewakili 34.82 peratus daripada jumlah pendapatan pelaburan kasar KWSP. Ekuiti memberikan pulangan kedua terbesar kepada KWSP sebanyak RM6.67 bilion pada 2008 berbanding RM5.37 bilion pada 2007.
“Sehingga September tahun lalu, KWSP sudah menunjukkan prestasi yang baik dalam ekuiti. Bagaimanapun, berikutan krisis kewangan dunia, prestasi pelaburan ekuiti KWSP jatuh kurang daripada 20 peratus, seterusnya memberikan kesan kepada bayaran dividen. Bagaimanapun, prestasi KWSP adalah lebih baik berbanding dengan indeks komposit Bursa Malaysia yang merosot kira-kira 40 peratus dari akhir Disember 2007 hingga Disember 2008,” kata Samsudin dalam kenyataannya, di sini, hari ini.
