Research projects
The Macroeconomic and Microeconomic Determinants of Credit Card Debt
Dr Priscilla Lim and Dr Patricia Ang were selected to collaborate on this research project with
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). The Central Bank of Malaysia initiated the collaboration in an
effort to foster closer ties between the Central Bank and academic community and to create
opportunities for the transfer of knowledge and skills. The research aims to identify the demand
-side risk factors of credit card debt to the financial system as well as the determinants of debtors’
success in reducing their credit card debt. The project takes a unique two-pronged approach and
examines the issue from a national (macroeconomic) and individual-level (microeconomic)
perspective. The findings of the research could have an impact of the conduct and design of the
Central Bank’s policies and programmes.
