CIMB Group is Malaysia’s second largest financial services provider which is listed on Bursa Malaysia through Bumiputra-Commerce Holdings Berhad (BCHB). In 2004, we began the process of creating a strong and competitive universal bank anchored by Commerce International Merchant Bankers (CIMB), the region’s largest investment bank. Leveraging on our brand and management, we undertook 4 strategic acquisitions worth RM12.8billlion: CIMB-Principal in October 2004 to enter fund management, CIMB-GK in January 2005 to make headway in the regional capital market, Bumiputra-Commerce Bank in June 2005 to enter consumer banking and enlarge our balance sheet, and Southern Bank in March 2006 to strengthen our consumer banking capabilities. We have also recently announced an internal reorganisation of BCHB to consolidate BCHB’s insurance and Indonesian banking operations into CIMB Group. In just 2 years, CIMB transformed itself from Malaysia’s no. 1 investment bank into a regional universal banking group. CIMB Group has grown from a staff strength of 1,000 in Malaysia to 20,000 in 12 countries while our market capitalisation has increased from RM6.3 billion to RM19.5 billion. The Group’s total assets grew from RM14.7 billion to RM155 billion with a further RM18 billion being third party funds under management.
