Malaysia bank giants eye merger as No.1

TWO of Malaysia’s largest financial institutions, CIMB Group and RHB Capital, said yesterday they plan to merge along with a property lending firm to create a “financial powerhouse” that will become the country’s biggest bank. The three institutions are seeking central bank approval for the merger and aim to sign a definitive agreement early next year.

CIMB and RHB Capital, the second- and fourth-largest banks, respectively, and the Malaysia Building Society announced in July they were in early talks on creating an entity with total assets estimated at around 614 billion ringgit (US$189 billion).
