PETALING JAYA (Sept 20, 2012): CIMB Bank Bhd is
hosting its first CIMB Asean SME Forum here on Sept 24, where guest
speakers will share their perspectives on doing business in Asean.
Themed "Asean for SMEs", the event is expected to attract more than
300 business owners and will focus on Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia,
with special sessions on increasing liberalisation in Myanmar and trade
opportunities in China.
"This forum is a clear example of how we can leverage our regional
network to offer our business customers practical advice on expanding in
Asean. The topics covered have been carefully selected to cover the
fundamentals of investing in, and trading with Asean markets," CIMB Bank
group deputy CEO and head of consumer banking, Renzo Viegas, said in a
statement today.
"According to Asean Secretariat statistics, intra-Asean trade
exceeded RM1.53 trillion last year and it was anticipated that the Asean
Economic Community (AEC) will be a key driver for further
intra-regional trade growth," he added.
The forum will be officiated by CIMB Group CEO Datuk Seri Nazir Razak
and will feature speakers who are regulatory, legal, tax and property
experts from across the region. International Trade and Industry
Ministry secretary-general Datuk Dr Rebecca Sta Maria will deliver the
keynote address.
She will touch on recent developments in the AEC, and opportunities
as well as challenges for Malaysian businesses as they seek regional
opportunities.
The CIMB Asean SME Forum is a regional roadshow with Kuala Lumpur as
the first leg, followed by Bangkok on Oct 9 which will be hosted by CIMB
Thai Bank PCL, and Jakarta on Oct 18, to be hosted by PT Bank CIMB
Niaga TBK.
