This joint report by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), the World Bank, and United Nations Development Programme’s Biodiversity Finance Initiative (UNDP BIOFIN) provides a guide for financial institutions and firms to assess and disclose nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities (DIROs). It aims to: 1) Assess the current state of nature-related risk assessments and disclosures among Malaysian financial institutions and firms; 2) Identify key gaps and challenges in these practices; and 3) Provide practical guidance and recommendations to accelerate progress across the financial ecosystem. The findings of this report are substantiated by several analytical components: an updated ENCORE analysis of nature-related dependencies and impacts within Malaysian banks’ commercial lending portfolios; two nationwide readiness surveys conducted with financial institutions and publicly listed companies; and five pilot LEAP assessments with three financial institutions and two firms.
