Malaysian firms form mega-bank


14 October 2014

Malaysian financial services giant CIMB is set to merge with RHB Capital Berhad and Malaysia Building Society Berhard with the proposal submitted to Bank Negara Malaysia for approval.

The three-way merger, valued at $22.3 billion, will create the nation's largest bank. The venture has been hailed by the companies as a formation of an ASEAN financial powerhouse. CIMB has a presence in nine ASEAN nations, including Cambodia, where at the end of 2013 it had 11 branches and held about $250 million in assets. RHB had nine branches in the Kingdom with close to $240 million in assets at the end of last year.
