The Financial Guarantee And Performance Guarantee is a crucial security instrument in Malaysian commercial transactions, particularly in construction, infrastructure, and large-scale commercial projects. It provides dual protection by guaranteeing both financial obligations and performance obligations of the principal debtor/contractor. This document is commonly required in scenarios where a party needs assurance of both payment and performance, such as in construction contracts, supply agreements, or project financing. The guarantee must comply with Malaysian banking regulations and can be structured to accommodate both conventional and Islamic banking requirements. It typically includes specific trigger events for calling on the guarantee, detailed performance metrics, and clear procedures for making demands. The document's usage has increased significantly in Malaysian infrastructure and development projects, particularly with the government's focus on large-scale development initiatives.
